Retreat Information:
On Tuesday, August 13, we will be having our team retreat at Coach Erica's Grandparents' House (10644 Perry St. Holland, MI 49424). The girls will go straight from the pool to the retreat. Parents can plan on picking their daughters up at 8:30pm from the address above. If you volunteered to take food to the retreat, THANK YOU!! You can plan on sending it with your daughter, or you can drop it off the evening of the retreat (around 5:30pm). Let Diane or Erica know if you have any questions!

ETS:

ETS is the strength and conditioning program for all athletes at Holland Christian. This takes place in the small gym/weight room at Holland Christian High School and is led by trainers. When coming for morning ETS practices, the best place to enter is through the doors located closest to the entrance to the football field. I have attached a picture below that might help as well. Enter on the map where it says Entrance E.

Looking Ahead:
8/20 - First Day of School
8/22 - OK Lakeshore Duals Meet @ Hamilton (5:00pm start time)
8/27 - Away Meet vs. Forest Hills Central and Hudsonville @ Hudsonville HS (6:00pm start time)
