South Miami Senior High School 's field is under full construction to rebuild the football and baseball fields.
This has created an unfortunate circumstance for our football program. The inability to have field access
truly creates a disadvantage for our students and coaches . Presently , our football team has been relegated
to a small area of grass in front of the school limi ting the ir preparation . As we approach the season beginning
next week, we have run out of options of securing a field large enough to properly practice .
The refore , we are humbly requesting to utilize the open space (field) at Palmer Park for our football practices
as well as a fee waiver for the following dates and times:
Mondays , Tuesdays, and Wednesdays 3:00pm -4:30pm
Monday, August 15, 2022-Wednesday, October 26, 2022
