Saturday and Sunday will follow the same pattern, with practice slated to begin at 11 a.m. followed by a 1 p.m. first pitch in the scrimmage each day.
Friday's on-field work will signal the official start to spring practice for the 2019 edition of the Crimson Tide. The team will take part in three weeks of full-team workouts leading up to the season opener on Friday, Feb. 15, against Presbyterian.
All practice times are subject to change depending on weather conditions for the day. Scrimmages are subject to change, while the amount of innings and pitches per game is to be determined as spring practice progresses.

Sewell-Thomas Stadium will be open to fans who wish to watch the practice and scrimmage dates. Fans are asked to enter Sewell-Thomas Stadium through the main gate (Gate 3) located directly behind home plate.
