Announcements that need to be shared for the good of the team:
If you haven't already, please take a moment to look over our team policy (link on the website).
There is a lot of important info included in the handout that answers questions many of you have had during the first few weeks.
Sharing Drinks/Utensils. The trend of sharing drinks is not unique to just our team and will have a great impact on the health of your kids by causing any number of communicable diseases: Mononucleosis, hepatitis, mumps, meningitis (deadly!), herpes simplex, strep throat, common cold, flu, MonkeyPox, and COVID. And yes, in my 20 years of coaching, I have seen all but Monkey Pox spread between athletes. Help me keep your kids safe by having a serious conversation about ending this trend!
Nutrition plays a huge part in an athlete's success. We have noticed lately that many of our student-athletes are not fueling enough to sustain the demands that running places on their bodies. We will have a nutrition talk during practice this season, so please ask your athlete to share the information they received.
