Attendees at games

Posted on October 1, 2020 by Manisha Kasana in Athletics

The DCL protocols for entering venues require that only one member of the family of each player attends the games in order to keep the number of attendees consistent with the number of people allowed to congregate at this time. The league is aware that this number may change in different communities in the future and we will communicate any changes as they become effective. Identification badges had been distributed and you have to wear them in order to come into all member schools’ events. We appreciate your collaboration.

The games had started!

Posted on October 1, 2020 by Manisha Kasana in Athletics

This week was the kick off of the playing season. Our athletes and coaches were eager and happy to be able to compete. We want to thank our NS community for the support of the health measures and their presence at the playing fields.

Our Golf team opened their season on Tuesday by traveling to Acton Boxboro. Coach Flynn reports “The team split with AB this past week. The Lions won the home match 88-77, and lost a close one away 87-80 on Tuesday. The team was led by four-year varsity member and senior captain Maddy Small who had 21 and 16 points in her matches.”

Our boys and girls Soccer teams and the Field Hockey squad also suited against Acton Boxboro this week with their series to be completed tomorrow. We will host Girls Soccer with varsity starting at 3 PM and JV A at 11 Am. AB doesn’t have a third team this year.

Opening their season on Saturday will be the Boys and Girls XC teams. The races will take place at Cold Springs in the afternoon. Please notice that parking is limited in the area and the number of attendees is still one person per runner competing.
