June 22nd-28th: Partial Return to In-Person Practices

Beginning this week, we will be holding optional in-person workouts in small groups. The Coaches have done our best to place everyone in appropriate groups based on both an athlete’s ability and training history. For this week, each group will meet one time at Mountain Vista (HS) or Mountain Ridge (MS). Please check the link below to see which group each athlete has been assigned over the course of the next three weeks.

1. Parents/guardians need to complete a COVID-19 symptom self-check with their student each day before they attend in-person activities.  If a student answers “yes” to any of the following questions, the student is not allowed to participate:
   
   1. Does the student have:  1. Fever, 2. Dry Cough, 3.  Sore Throat, 4. Shortness of Breath, or 5. Had close contact with or cared for someone with COVID-19.
      
2. Make sure you are on time at 7 a.m.. Once the check in process is completed, the coaching staff will not be able to check in late arrivals. 
3. Once you arrive, please socially distance yourself from everyone else. 6 feet apart at all times.

Summer Payment
Now that we are returning to in-person practices, we will be charging each athlete a fee of $100. This covers the cost of our entire summer camp. Our summer program is the main fundraiser for our team each year and how we afford things like additional coaching stipends, uniforms, meet transportation, etc. during the season. Anyone who is unable to pay the $100 fee should contact Coach Dalby. No one will be turned away if you are unable to pay. 

All fees will be done electronically this year through the Booster Club. Once the link is available it will be emailed out to everyone, and posted on the front of the website.

Training for June 22nd-28th
From here on, training will  be posted for you in the Final Surge App. This will help you to know what your daily workouts are before you come to practice each day, along w/ knowing what to run when you are out of town during the summer. 

If you have not signed-up yet for the Final Surge App, or need help doing so, please take a look at the following link for assistance.
