Most teams will practice at the West Warwick Civic Center, but we also use the Johnston Indoor Complex and
Dr. Jorge Alvarez High School. The day and times of practices are finalized approximately one week before the season begins.

​

TOURNAMENTS

Tournament play will begin for most teams the weekend of September 27th and 28th. We will play in 4 tournaments, all of which will be a 3-game minimum and have the opportunity to advance for an additional game(s). All tournaments will be local, with gym locations no more than one hour north of Providence. In addition, we only participate in larger, established tournaments with a proven track record of running well organized tournaments that focus on safety.

​​​​

UNIFORMS

The uniform package is $95. The uniform package includes game shorts, a reversible game jersey as well as a reversible practice jersey. All players who need a uniform package will be able to try on a sample uniform at tryouts to ensure a proper fit, as uniforms can not be returned or exchanged. If you did not play with RI Magic in the Spring 2025, a new uniform is required.
