Announcements
Announcements
Bring a watch! Athletes need to wear watches so they can: monitor heart rate, time themselves during workouts, and check the actual time if they have to leave early (this happens almost daily)
· Bring water! Make sure you pick up your water after practice so coaches don’t have to pick up after you!
· Review forms again…I loved how you put the encouragement to scan the documents so they have them on the computer and don’t have to re-fill anything out!
· Attendance is mandatory! If you can’t make it to the 1st week of practice (Aug. 5th), please let us know as we will be taking attendance!
· Remind athletes to continue to run! If athletes are not physically at practice, they need to do the workouts posted on the blog!
· We have a huge team! Our team is rather big this year, and we know athletes are still joining as we’ve had a lot of people contacting us who are on vacation. Please encourage your friends to join as it is normal to have a lot of athletes added to the team as the school year approaches! Get the word out!
· Here is the schedule for next week:
Monday 9 – 10:30 a.m. ALHS Track
Tuesday 9 – 10:30 a.m. ALHS Track
Wednesday Recovery Day On your own, meet with friends, or (preferred), meet with teammates
20 – 30 minutes swimming (preferred) or cardio (basketball, bike ride, game, rollerblading, etc.)
or a recovery (very easy) run of 20 – 24 minutes
Thursday 8:25 – 11 a.m. Metro Parks
We will meet at ALHS Track BEFORE 8:30 a.m., and we’ll be taking a bus to the Rocky River Metro Parks for hill
work. We will return at 11 a.m. at ALHS.
Friday 9 – 10:30 a.m. ALHS Track – bring your bike! We’ll meet at the track, then start our bike ride at Kopf Reservation
Saturday 9 – 10:30 a.m. ALHS Track
· Parent Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 13th, from 6:30 – 7:15 p.m., in the Learwood Auditorium! Please plan on attending as we will go over our season. Topics will include: apparel you should buy, shoes, spikes, meet formats, Friday Night Dinners (and other social events we’re planning for the team), as well as how and what to watch for in a meet…this is a new sport for many so we want to make sure everyone is as educated as possible going into the season!
Thanks,Coach Walters
