<p>I'll be a prep this fall at Exeter, and I plan to be on the field hockey team. I was wondering if anyone had any information as far as pre-season for fall sports.</p>
<p>Any info would be great. Thanks!</p>
<p>Try contacting a coach at Exeter.</p>
<p>Pre-season is, like, two days long. You pretty much show up a day before the other new students. You may have two practices a day while you move in. It’s not a big deal, but you should contact the coach and make sure you are on some sort of email list.</p>
<p>From what I know some sports have to report a week early</p>
<p>First classes are on Friday following Labor Day holiday (shortened schedule). New students arrive on the Wednesday after Labor Day, returning students on Thursday. I believe most atheletes are invited to campus on the Tuesday after Labor Day. However, I believe varsity football arrives the Friday or Saturday before Labor Day. I believe they are required to have a certain number of hours of conditioning before they are allowed contact practices. First scrimmages for most of the varsity teams is on the Saturday after Labor Day. As noted above, teams will do two practices a day, plus maybe an evening team meeting to go over plays, etc. prior to the first scrimmage.</p>
