PRACTICE FRIDAY-- Learwood 10:00am-11:30
SWC WEEK
Here we go! This is the final race of the season. Let's get to work:
- Please check Coach Rocco’s room for any missing items! At the end of our season we’re going to place all missing items in Learwood’s Lost & Found.
- Parents, while this final race is centrally located, make sure to remind kids to stick together!
- Time to get some rest! Eat healthy, drink a lot of water, stock up on sleep (9 hours, 15 minutes a night), and STRETCH before bed! Avoid soda, junk food, and limit sweets to one dessert a day! Remember, it’s not what you do Friday night, it’s what you do this whole week.
- Parents: we've been very flexible with the athletes' sports schedules this season...we are going to ask that those other sports be flexible with us this week. We are tapering this week, and we need the kids to REST! We've been pushing them these last few weeks, and I know a lot of them are participating in multiple sports. We want them to peak at the right time, and that means they've got to rest this whole week. If you could adjust their sports' schedules this week, we would really appreciate it!
- Parents and athletes: typically athletes like to toilet paper my house my house the week of SWCs (it's tradition). Just remember: we love Coach Rocco and we would NOT want to do any damage to his home. Also, the tradition also stipulates that athletes meet the next day to clean up--don't forget that.
- Bowling Reminder: after SWCs we meet at Spevock’s Bowling in Avon Lake. We’ll be bowling from 3:55 – 5:55 p.m. Make sure Coach Walters has your money by WEDNESDAY of this week! Cash only please in a sealed envelope with your name on it. Mrs. Walters will NOT be at school on Thursday OR practice on Friday. She is at the AMLE Conference in Columbus. So it is VERY important you give your money to her on WEDNESDAY! Athletes, please bring your uniforms/jackets to bowling. The coaching staff will be collecting uniforms/jackets.
- State Meet Info: as of the time of this blog post, the state meet information on the OHSAA is not updated on their website. Apparently it will be updated this week. Once it is, we'll let you know!
- Parents: we’ll be updating Avon Lake’s Team Records & Individual Records. We’ll also post this on the blog after SWCs.
- I’m including Avon Lake’s SWC History here. Take a look at what athletes have done over the last 25+ years! Click here!
