Suit Fittings - This Wednesday (8/8)

Hello everyone!

I wanted to touch base with all of you to let you know that we will be doing a team suit fitting on Wednesday, Aug. 8th at 4:45. This will take place right before practice. All you need to bring is yourselves and if you would like any accessories like practice suits or anything else you think you would need. Please bring extra money for that. I think you will all really like the team suits this year. Thank your captains for that... they did a great job choosing the suits for this year!

With that said, I would like to make Monday's practice the mandatory practice for the first week. However, club swimmers, after suit fittings on Wed. if you would like to join in for practice that day, as always, you are welcome to stay and practice with the team. It's totally your choice. The following week we will go back to Wednesday's as our mandatory practice!

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at practice on Monday! Be ready for a great dryland and swim workout!!

Enjoy your weekend,

Coach Laura & Coach Jenny

Miracle Mile Dinner - 10/6/2011

Come to Culver's of 9/22 - Invite Family & Friends

Required by 10/1 - AIA Mandated

AIA NEEDS YOU TO COMPLETE

We have spoke to several of you, and we want to clarify, this is NOT the same thing as the concussion paper you turned in with your original district paperwork. This is an AIA requirement, NOT just Paradise Valley Unified School District requirement. An athlete may become ineligible to play ANY sports if this is not completed by the deadline. PLEASE COMPLETE THIS ASAP. You will need to complete a quick registration and plan on the whole thing taking roughly 40-50 minutes.  

MANDATORY – FULL TEAM PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED!!!  (Even if you are a returning swimmer – so this means every swimmer and diver.)

 

Below is the link to the AIA mandated student concussion education program called Brainbook.  All fall athletes must take this course before Oct. 1st.  They need to print out the completion certificate and turn in to Ms. Roman.  They only need to do this course 1 time for their HS career.  If the link is not working, it can be found on aiaonline.org under the AIA academy link at the top.  Please take it seriously because you do have to finish a test at the end of the course.
