We are always happy to house prospective players for campus visits, give campus tours, talk to them about life at Oberlin, even pick them up and deliver them to the airport/ bus/ train terminals. If you're coming to campus, give us a ring. We'd be thrilled to hear from you. We practice in Carr Pool (right) in Philips Gym. It's a beautiful 25 meter X 25 yard 6 lane all-deep facility which allows us to host tournaments easily and practice in a game environment.

In fact, the best way to get a feel for the team is to come, see us practice, and hop in with us. Our practice schedule is as follows:

Fall Mondays & Wednesdays: 8.00 P.M. - 9.30 P.M.

Spring Tuesdays & Thursdays: 8.00 P.M. - 9.30 P.M.

Some weeekend practices are full court inter-squad scrimmage, e-mail for times and dates e-mail.

We look forward to hearing from you.
