Fall Dates

***UPDATE ON 7/19: Practice Times and Meets have been added to the Practice Calendar!  You can view this via the right side-bar of the blog or through our page on the HC Athletics website.

Hey Ladies and Parents,

Here's some info regarding important dates for the Fall.  Be sure to keep these things in mind when you're setting up your calendars for August and beyond.

Fall Dates

• Wednesday, August 14th: FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE!  More on specific times and locations will come as those get set.  Make sure your physical is done and turned in before this; otherwise, you can't hop in the pool until that's taken care of!
• Tuesday, August 20th @ 7pm: Athletics' Parent Night at the High School.  This will start with a talk given by Todd Gongwer, author of a book HC coaches read this past year.  After the talk, we will break out into individual teams and have our initial Parent Meeting for the year.
• Fri/Sat August 23-24: Team Retreat in Fennville.  We will carpool down after practice on Friday.  Plan on staying until 5:00pm Saturday.  More details to come!
• Monday, August 26th: First day of school (half-day) for freshmen.
• Tuesday, August 27th: First FULL day of school for all students.
• Monday, September 2nd: Labor Day, NO school.  Practice in Hamilton from 6 to 8pm.
• Saturday, September 28th: D3 Invite hosted by HC at the Aquatic Center.
• Saturday, October 26th @ 10am: Cancer Walk in Kollen Park.  This is a 3-mile walk we will be participating in along with the Hamilton, Zeeland, Holland, and West Ottawa teams.  More info to come.

If you have any questions, comments, etc. as we head go through this last month before the season starts, don't be afraid to call or email me!  Take care.
