FAQs

Are practices open to everyone?

We have two kinds of practices: 1) open gyms, and 2) travel team practices. While most people have played before, everyone is welcome to attend open gyms or try out for the travel team, regardless of experience level.

What's the travel team? What's the commitment like?

We host tryouts at the beginning of the fall semester every year to determine who will travel with us to tournaments within a four hour radius. If you don't make the team, you are welcome to come to any and all open gyms; we also do, on occasion, pull people up to join the traveling team, which practices twice a week and attends three tournaments a semester.

When and where are practices?

Practices are held on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00pm - 11:00pm in Levien Gymnasium.

Who is eligible to play?

Anyone who attends a Columbia-affliated school is welcome, including students in Barnard, CC, SEAS, GS, and all graduate programs.

How do I know if practice is happening this week?

The team sends out emails the day before or the day of practices. You can also check out this calendar if you're ever unsure.
