The practice players are serving intensity during practice while forming off-court friendships.
In the fall, Florida Atlantic University Women’s Basketball made multiple social media posts asking for male practice players to help elevate their game for the upcoming season again. The team picked up a few players to help them practice and prepare for their season in September.
Each practice player on the women’s team is a full time student at the university and attends as many practices as they can that work around their classes each day, head coach Jennifer Sullivan explained.
Last season, the Owls record was 11-19 and 6-12 AAC.
