Winter 2 Transportation
Swimmers and volleyball players take a bus after school to the Community Center for practice.
The Athletic Department provides a shuttle for athletes who are unable to get transportation home from practice at the community center.
We have created a shuttle that gets athletes to certain areas of the city from which they can reasonably walk.
For track athletes practicing from 2:20 to 3:45 at South Portland Middle School,
they will be able to access the 3:50 South Portland Middle School late bus (use the "3:50 Runs" tab at the bottom of the sheet).
Below is the bus shuttle schedule for swimming and volleyball at the SP Community Center.
Each location is a drop off location. Our goal was to cover as much of the city as possible given the resources we have.
