On July 31st at 6:30 pm at the High School there will be a mandatory meeting for all HIGH SCHOOL athletes. At this meeting
there will be a review of athletic code expectations, concussion procedures,
and individual sport expectations. Many of you need to have a physical, watch
the concussion video, pay your volleyball fee, sign the athletic code, and turn
in the parent permission card/alternate year card. (MS students also need to turn in these, but do not need to attend the meeting.)
The weight room will continue to be open from 7:00 am – 11:00
am and 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm until August 9th. During this time you
should be doing the Bigger, Faster, Stronger program. You can also ask the
supervising coach to open the gym and get some touches on a volleyball. The
volleyball cart will be left out.
On August 3rd from 10:00 am until
3:00 pm we will be holding a car wash at Larsen Auto in Spooner. Here we
will be doing car washes, selling concessions, and selling last year’s apparel
and blankets. This fundraiser will help us buy new equipment and other items in
this coming season. I would like each of you to commit to working at least one
shift. On the parent letter there is a form to fill out and mail back to me. It can also be dropped
off at the Elementary Office. You may also text Coach Smith the information at
218-590-6073. Please email or call for a new form. Even if you are unable to help, please return the slip to me.
Remember that the time you sign up for is your commitment and we need your
involvement. “Teamwork divides the task
and multiplies the success.”
Also included in
this letter are a few fliers. Please give these out to your family members and
friends as advertisement for this event.
On another note, your coaching staff would like to hold an informational meeting on Monday, August 19th at 6:30 pm in the HS Commons. It is highly recommended that you attend. At this meeting you will meet the entire coaching staff, ask questions, and coaches will give out a lot of helpful information for the coming season. We will also have you sign the NEW volleyball handbook. If you are unable to attend this meeting, please contact Coach Smith at 218-590-6073 or email her at smithm@spooner.k12.wi.us.
