TheAthletic Director as asked fall coaches to share these two resources withathletes and parents to watch:
https://nfhslearn.com/courses/hazing-prevention-for-students (hazing)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is7NjpiW4NY (concussion video)
The AnnualFall Sports Meeting will be on 8/6 at 6:00 in the main gym. Thisis for parents and might be good for new runners. Returning runners canattend if you want, but do not need to. There will be a large groupmeeting in the gym then a breakout cross country only meeting which is veryhelpful for those new to the team.
GreenHope Athletics App. Most ofyou have added the app. If you have not, then all of our runners shouldand it is a good idea for parents to add it. It allows for quickcommunication when we have changes to meets and practices due to weather andother factors. This is the preferred communication method forathletes.
Gearsite: reminder that the site closes August2nd. This is the last time we open the site and remember all runners whomake the team will need a singlet (uniform top--green for girls, maroon forguys). Here is the link to order gear: https://johnsonlambe.chipply.com/ghhsxc?action=viewall
Dragonfly: If you arenot 100% cleared you can not come out for the team. And do not wait untilone day before we start--the Athletic Trainer needs time to check everyone.
Thanksall and let me know if you have any questions.
