Practice Schedule

Start of Practice

Practices begin in late July and run for approximately three weeks.
Sessions are typically held Monday through Thursday at 6:30 PM.
All practices take place at North Catholic High School, in the grassy area in front of the main school building.

Transition to Regular Season

After the initial three‑week practice period, regular practices begin and cheerleaders start cheering at weekend games.
Cheerleaders arrive early on game days for warm‑ups and a brief practice before kickoff.

Communication

- Each team’s head coach will provide weekly schedules, updates, and any changes through TeamSnap.

Game Schedule

Games are played on Saturdays, Sundays, or both, depending on league scheduling. The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh typically assigns most games on Sundays, with Ironmen home games scheduled between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

The regular season runs from August through mid‑October, followed by a two‑round diocesan playoff, culminating in the Championship Game in late October.

Cheerleaders cheer at both home and away games.

All Ironmen home games are played at J.C. Stone Field in North Park.
