Fall Preview Update

Below are some updates on the earlier Fall Preview post.  Please refer back to that for more info.

Mrs. Button and I met via Zoom with Glorine & Rowdy yesterday.  We didn't connect with Gage, but plan to have him involved as a senior captain as well.

Community Service 

Captains will get in touch with Kari B to find out what we can do for the Birding & Nature Center.

Again, if you know of organizations who can use that energy, please let a senior know so we can go to work.

Fundraising 

We now have four (4) dozen kickboards for yard signs.  Mrs. Moya has offered to supply the other materials (zip ties, glue, wooden stakes, etc.) for the project.

Captains will put together that supply list so we'll be able to have everything we need in time for the pool work day.

RankOne 

Please check your status in RankOne.  If you are still "red" and don't know why, contact Trainer G ASAP.

If you know you're missing paperwork, the link on our athletics site is here 

If you know someone who plans to swim/dive this year that wasn't on last year's roster, please have them email me ASAP!

sportsYou 

We haven't added anyone new to our sportsYou group lately!

Please let folks know how important this is!

I'm especially concerned that our incoming 7th graders aren't getting our info!

Please make sure athletes & parents are using this:

Meetings 

Our athlete Zoom meeting will be on Monday, August 31st at 7:30 p.m.

Our parent Zoom meeting will be on Tuesday, September 1st at 7:30 p.m.

I'll post those invite links on sportsYou as we get closer to those dates.

If you need to sign up with Zoom, get started here

Pool Work Day 

Our pool work day will be Saturday, September 5.  Let's try to get started around 8:00 so we can be finished by noon.

Since fewer folks are traveling during the pandemic, the captains figured we'd have plenty of folks in town over the Labor Day weekend.

Our "labors" will involve setting up the breezeway for dry-land training, adjusting our lane rope connections, straightening the equipment room, constructing yard signs, and a few other odds & ends.

Practices 

The plan is to start limited (3 per week) high school practices after Labor Day.  Expect regular schedule (5/week for high school & 3/week for junior high) to commence in late October.

Meets

Our meet schedule is slooooowly coming together.

Once our district coaches have met/voted, we'll know when/where our district meet will be held.

Our spring District 27-5A meeting did not take place, but Brazosport HS's coach Adam Collins just let me know they're working on getting a Zoom scheduled soon.

The Brazosport Invite in early December is still on our schedule!  We've invited Coach Collins to bring his team over to Bay City if we're able to host some time trials meets in September & October.

The junior high schedule is a bit more complicated.  We were to join a fall league with schools from Alvin, Angleton, Brazosport, & Friendswood ISD's with meets in November and a championship in December.  I'm waiting to hear if that plan is still "on".
