- The facility is a part of the First Baptist School. As such we are bound by their rules. One rule we ask all teams and spectators to observe in particular is the “No Peanuts” policy of the school. There are students who attend our school that are very allergic to nuts. Should they come into contact with nuts that may be left in the gym it could cost them their lives.
- We ask that all team members work hard to keep the gym and the grounds clean.
- Finally we welcome your help in returning the gym to a usable state for school which will follow after our Tuesday and Wednesday games, and for Worship Warehouse which follows our Saturday games.
