Monday, August 21st Practice

Cross Country Athletes & Parents:

We are canceling practice tomorrow due to the solar eclipse, and the fact that it won't be safe to look at the sun for much of our practice time. We will still meet tomorrow, inside, for a short team meeting about the first day of school practice procedures, and for our team/individual pictures. Runners will be required to run on their own in the morning (we will be in teacher meetings from 7:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.)

A few notes about tomorrow:

• Runners should run 18 - 28 - 38 minutes (or any other time in between those times)
• If you still need a uniform or if you need to switch shorts/shirts, please stop by Coach Rocco's room (404) between 3:45 - 4:15 p.m.
• If you're riding your bike to practice, be aware you should not look up at the sun, as it is not safe to look up at the sun through 3:51 p.m. tomorrow!
• If you need a picture order form, please see Coach Rocco! Extra forms should also be in the office and the photographers should also have picture order forms with them.
• We will meet in the auditorium at 4:15 p.m. for a short team meeting, then we'll have team pictures at 4:45 p.m. and individual pictures thereafter (we've been told it will be 5 p.m. for individual pictures...but bear with us, we've got a lot of kids on our team).
• Don't forget to wear your uniform tomorrow!

See you guys later tomorrow! 

PRACTICE LOCATION CHANGE!

We will be meeting at Learwood tomorrow, Tuesday, August 15th, from 8:15-9:45 a.m. We will meet at the track.

Also, if any athlete would be willing to help me out in my classroom after practice, please let me know tomorrow morning. It would probably be from 10 - 11 a.m., and I'd only need a handful of helpers (3-5 kids).
 
Thanks for your flexibility this morning and with tomorrow's change!
 
Coach Rocco

PRACTICE LOCATION CHANGE!

We just got an email from the Athletic Department today asking us NOT to conduct practice at the ALHS campus this week due to construction of the new track.

Because of this change, we will be meeting at Learwood tomorrow, Tuesday, August 8th, from 8:15-9:45 a.m. We will meet in the auditorium first, from 8:15-8:30, then we'll head to the track.

On Wednesday, we’ll plan on meeting at the southwest corner of the Avon Lake Public Library (grassy area by the tennis courts), and we’ll take the trailhead there to Kopf Reservation. Parents, if you can use the library parking lot (instead of the high school north lot), that would be appreciated.
 
Thanks for your flexibility!

Thanks,
 
Coach Rocco
