Well, it's finally here...our first week of practice for the 2013 season! Below are two forms that each family and each athlete will need to fill out. Further down, there's info regarding the start of our season.
- Forms
- Physicals
- Remember, your physical form needs to be turned in to either me or the office before you can get in the water on Wednesday. As of last week, about half of us are good-to-go. I'll send out an email later today to those who do not have one on file yet.
- Practice Info
- Our first practice is at Bouws Pool (outdoor pool on 16th Street in Holland) on Wednesday, August 14th from 7:00 to 10:00am. (Hint: that means ready to go at 7:00am; if you arrive at 7:00, you're late!)
- This is a change! We will begin our normal afternoon practices at the Aquatic Center on Monday, August 19th going from 3:00 to 5:45pm. We will NOT be practicing at Bouws after the first week.
- To see our full season schedule, click on the Practice Schedule link in the right-hand sidebar.
- Divers: I'll post the diving practice schedule as soon as it's confirmed with Rich.
- What to Bring to Practice
- For the first week, bring a pair of sweats or other warm clothes as we will start each day with a team meeting.
- Practice suit, cap, and goggles.
- An old pair of socks to wear with fins (helps prevent blisters).
- A WATER BOTTLE!!! Staying hydrated is a must!
- A Gatorade or other sports drink, or a granola bar (you need to consume some calories during a three-hour practice).
- Our dryland this year will NOT require athletic shoes.
- Parent Night
- The Parent Night for HC Athletics is on Tuesday, August 20th @ 7:00pm at the high school.
- There will be a speaker in the auditorium followed by breakout sessions for each individual sport.
I truly cannot wait to get our season started this Wednesday! See you at the pool.
