Though temperatures are still hovering past 80 degrees, it's a sign that mid August means the start of practice for the fall sports season in Minnesota on Monday, August 14.
Football, soccer, volleyball, girls tennis and cross country players get their equipment out of storage and get ready for the 2023 season, even in St. Louis Park. Here's when the Oriole athletic teams begin their regular season.
Thursday, August 24, girls tennis and boys and girls soccer begin regular season competition. The only team home is the girls tennis team as they open up against the Southwest Christian Stars at 4 PM. The boys soccer team begins a brutal stretch to start 2023 as they travel to Eden Prairie to ace the Eagles at 5 PM and open the home season on Saturday, August 26 against the defending Class AAA champion Wayzata Trojans at 11 AM. The girls soccer team heads up to Brooklyn Park to face the Park Center Pirates at 5 PM and their home opener is on the 29th against the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles at 7 PM.
In addition to the girls soccer team's home opener on the 29th, it's also the season opener for the girls volleyball team as they host the Park Center Pirates in a 7 PM start.
Oriole football fans might consider leaving work early September 1 since the team will head down Highway 169 for their season opener against the Mankato East Cougars at 7 PM. They will also be on the road for a Saturday matinee September 9 as they head to south Minneapolis to take on the Washburn Millers at 1 PM.
Also on September 1, the boys and girls cross country teams open their season in the Rosemount Invitational that begins at 8 AM.
There's plenty of exciting season opening action for the St. Louis Park athletic teams in late August and early September. If the weather is nice, head outside and see these fine young athletes begin their season.
