Born for This - 23/24 Season Gets Under Way

Born For This

For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths. Proverbs 5:21

"God created you to (you were born to) live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying His supreme excellence in ALL spheres of life.” ~ John Piper, Don’t Waste Your Life

As a team, we are entering this sphere of our life, pursuing it as just one way to enjoy and display all of God's excellence. Like last season, we have a relatively large group of young men to build this team for the rest of the season, we still have a couple more details to attend to this week that will hopefully help athletes feel part of a team and parents have a better grasp on what lies ahead.

Check out the details below the practice schedule for the week.

Parents, we need your help to make this season a success. Here are signup links for areas where parents can help.

Car Pools

I think our car pools from school to the pool are set. Please let me know if there are any concerns. Make sure you communicate any change in plans for a day with drivers. You can see the list on the opening day slideshow.

Parent Night 

I'm planning on having a parent meeting on Tuesday night at 5:45pm at the Aquatic Center. Though this is a brief meeting in which we will talk through the season plans and areas where you can help throughout the season, I really think it's important for as many family representatives as possible to be there to get to know one another. 

Communication

Besides this blog and email, there are a couple of other ways I try to communicate. Most announcements will be sent via Remind, and you can keep tabs on practice and meet times and locations by using Eventlink, which can also be used to buy tickets for home meets. More information can be found on the opening day slideshow. 

A Look Ahead 

 Our first dual meet will be a home meet on December 5th against West Ottawa.

• Meet Starts at 6:30pm
• Athletes should be on deck at the Aquatic Center at 5:15pm
