- Please note, B/G lacrosse can use the Aux. Gym at WMS for indoor practices if coaches ask for it. The time slot available to both teams is from 7-9 PM. Basically it would be 1 hour each or teams can rotate days of the week to use the full two hours. Coaches will communicate how they want to proceed with this option.
