The Countdown Continues!!

Hi, everyone!

I really hope the summer's been treating you well as of late and that you are as excited as we are to get this thing going next Wednesday, Aug. 14...the Iron Man Contest/start to tryouts!!

A few updates/reminders regarding that day:

**Before ANY physical activity, you are REQUIRED to have a physical on file at the HS main office (dated later than April 2013). You also need to sign an athletic code of conduct and pay a small athletic insurance fee at the office as well. Having just checked the list today, there are MANY of you who have yet to fulfill these requirements. Get it done asap, please!

**We'll meet at 8 AM (please arrive a bit early to personally prepare) that day (Wed., Aug.14) in the football field/track area.

**Please bring water, running gear for track events, and soccer gear for field events that day.

**The AM session will end at 11 AM. From 11-1 PM, you're free to do whatever, but obviously, you'll want to hydrate and eat something. Anyone is more than welcome to hang out in Coach Stieper's classroom in the junior hallway of the high school during that interim period. I'd offer my room as well, but i'll be tallying the Iron Man Contest points for each individual during that time in there!

**From 1-3 PM that day, we'll do a lot of scrimmaging as part of the first day tryout process so that we can evaluate you in live soccer action on top of the Iron Man events. The next two days after that (Thursday/Friday of next week) will also be tryout days but conducted more like practice sessions (9 to noon each day). We'll meet at the practice field for those days.

**JV and Varsity teams will be determined by the end of training on Friday, Aug. 16.

I think that's it for now, everyone! Please let me know of any questions/comments/concerns from here on out!

As always....lookin' very much forward!!
