Training and development
Natural Grass Practice Fields
After 17 months, the Master Plan's Phase 1 construction of the two natural grass practice fields was completed in August 2020.
The successful addition of two natural grass practice fields for football significantly enhances the development of our student-athletes and provides the best chance for them to stay healthy during practice. Fewer injuries occur on natural grass practice fields than artificial surfaces and natural grass is the surface most of our field sports compete on throughout their seasons.
These two new fields provide greater flexibility for our coaches and student-athletes to balance training and development with their academic commitments.
