7.     We expect that our home practice field will be located in Swampscott.  The season lasts approximately 8 weeks, starting in early September.  Once a week, one hour practices will be held on Sunday mornings for six weeks.  The end of the season is finished with two Special Olympics sponsored events:  an exciting team day of play at the North Division Games at Pingree School in South Hamilton, and the State Cup Games at Governor’s Academy in Byfield.  Both events are fun filled days of celebration, teamwork, pride, and becoming part of the larger family of Special Olympics Athletes.  Families and friends are encouraged to celebrate the athlete’s accomplishments and come cheer their players on!!
