Please note, the gymnasium has been rezoned as a Technique Lab, which means that group activity (Basketball, Volleyball etc) is not permitted unless applied for directly to the Athletics Director. All group activities will be “closed sessions” for club sport only, meaning that only club sport registered members will be allowed entry and permission to play. All group activities in the gymnasium will be scheduled outside of Technique Lab classes only. Anyone caught using the basketball court area without permission may face sanctioning.
