Practice After School

 Here's a review of what practice will look like after school:

• Pack your workout clothes, shoes, socks, two water bottles, and a snack in a bag. One water bottle can be carried with you throughout the school day, and you can refill it at drinking fountain (there are water bottle filling stations at Learwood).
• You will drop off your bag in the locker rooms (boys and girls' locker rooms are located at either end of the gym). You are allowed to walk in, and you'll place your bag underneath the 'Cross Country' sign. 
• The coaching staff won't be able to direct you tomorrow morning (we have to be in our homerooms at that time); however our athletic director will be there should you have any questions or are nervous about walking into the locker rooms.
• You do NOT need a lock, the locker room will be locked up each morning.
• After school, you will be the first sport dismissed. Go to the locker room with your school book bag, and change in the locker room into your cross country gear. Cross country will be the only team in there from 3 - 3:10 p.m. so try to hurry! If we need to alter these times we will but try your best to get changed quickly so the next sport can get into the locker room.
• Take all your stuff and drop it off next to a desk in the MPR (not on a desk). You can eat your snack there but PLEASE do not leave a mess. This is even more important this year.
• We hope to start practice at 3:20 p.m. but we will of course wait for everyone from Open Door. 
• We will meet as one team on the track tomorrow and then we'll split up after that.
• Bring your water on the track and don't forget your mask! 
• We should be done at 4:45 p.m. If you need to leave early let us know and you can take your gear out to the track.
• You aren't allowed to be on your phone throughout the day but once school is over get in the habit of checking the REMIND app as I'll post updates. This will be key this year as the boys and girls' teams may not be doing the same workouts together. With our social distancing guidelines this year students won't be able to stop by my classroom (which is normally room 404) to ask questions about practice, so I'll post updates on the app and you can check it at the end of the day. Going forward I'll post weekly calendars as well.
• Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
