Our Season consists of attending away games and hosting home games. All away games will be roughly within a 5 hour drive from Raleigh. We plan on hosting all of our home games in a well equiped gymnasium that will be determined well in advance of the start of the regular season. All Games are played on Saturdays, so away games might require Friday Evening or Sunday Morning travel.
