ALL GAMES WILL BE PLAYED AT LFCDS WHERE PRACTICES HAVE TAKEN PLACE  
MOST 3rd, 4th & 5th grade league games are 1 hour. Games are two 16 minute halves with a halftime.  
As we get closer to daylight savings, you'll notice there are some nights we have allotted just 45 minutes   to play a game.            
PICTURE DAYS -
 
 FITZGERALD'S PHOTOGRAPHY, WHO HAVE DONE OUR TEAM PICTURES FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS ARE COMPLETELY BOOKED FOR THIS FALL. MUCH OF THIS IS DUE MAINLY TO OUR NEW SCHEDULE AT LFCDS.   THE SHORTENED WEEK NIGHT AND LONGER WEEKEND SCHEDULED GAMES LEAVE LITTLE OPPORTUNITY TO   GET PICTURES TAKEN BASED ON THEIR AVAILABILITY.       HERE'S OUR SOLUTION: BRING YOUR CAMERA TO YOUR CHILD'S FIRST COUPLE GAMES. WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE   WE'VE GOT THE ENTIRE TEAM THERE, WE'LL ARRANGE THE KIDS FOR A PHOTO OPPORTUNITY AND INVITE  PARENTS ON TO THE FIELD TO SNAP A TEAM PICTURE. INDIVIDUALS CAN BE TAKEN AFTER THE GAME.  IF YOU FORGET YOUR CAMERA FOR THE DAY WE TAKE THE PICTURE, WE'LL ARRANGE TO GET YOU A FILE   ELECTRONICALLY FROM SOMEONE WHO TOOK A PICTURE. JUST GIVE THE HOTLINE A CALL.    WE'LL GET BACK TO OUR NORMAL PHOTO DAYS WITH FITZGERALD'S THIS WINTER WITH BASKETBALL.

  		 3. Please let the coaches coach. Refrain from shouting instructions to players on the field especially, "Shoot!","Move to that spot over there!" The NVA staff has the best intentions for your child and his or her team.We coach to the best of our abilities keeping the philosophy of NVA.
