They were grateful to know that their programs are supported in such a meaningful way and are looking forward to having a space they can take pride in. Many students have already talked about how much easier practices will be and how having organized, accessible equipment will help them stay focused and prepared.\r\n\r\nAs we look ahead, the installation of these containers will allow us to maximize practice time and expand skill development opportunities.
