Practices

Feel free to visit one of our practices to see how the club operates. We have three locations in downtown Toronto. Sundays and Fridays are constant throughout the year; Wednesdays at St. David's are intermittent and depend on competition scheduling so may not always be listed/running (if it is not listed as open on the website then it is not running). Please before dropping in to notify us of your visit.
