Re: Finding a space outside of school

When looking for a practice field you shouldn't limit yourself. The best thing you can do in this situation is call any location that fits your criteria. When I was trying to find a practice field for my team I called a bunch of locations that turned me down but pointed me to the right direction. They gave me info to other places that might have been able to give me space and eventually I found a spot for free! The key here is persistence. Literally just bug everyone you know until someone gives you the space you want. Also make sure you stress the fact that you're from a non-profit organization and that there's some kind of benefit for them by helping you. Other than that good luck finding a place!
