Spirit Packs / Scrimmage / CHS Tournament / Wilcox Tournament

The first round of Spirit Packs have arrived!!  The first shipment of suits, t-shirts and fleece have arrived and will be distributed at the beginning of practice on Tuesday, 9/2.  Please arrive at the pool right after school to pick up your items.  If spirit packs have not been paid for, they will not be given out to the player.  If you have not paid yet, go online to the CHS website and click on the “Visit our WebStore” link to pay for the Boys WP Spirit Pack by noon on Tuesday.  Or, bring a check for $40 made out to “CHS ASB” to the pool on Tuesday. 

Some boys’ spirit packs are being filled out of a second order which has not yet arrived.  The later a player joined the roster, or the more unusual a player’s size request, the more likely it is their order will be filled in the second shipment.  Items in the second shipment will be distributed as soon as they arrive.

A big thank you to Chris Kelly for coordinating the snack bar at the scrimmage this weekend and all the parents who helped man it. Thank you also to Kira Whitaker for coordinating the scoring desk training.  There were about 20 pieces of clothing and towels and a team parka left at the pool. They are in a basket on the bleachers. We are also missing a rather new red tennis shoe that may have gotten into someone else's bag. If you find it please return to Jack Ellison.

Related to this a reminder of an issue discussed when we talked about pool rules. We encourage you to change in the equipment room (or locker room) BUT your clothes needs to be taken out of the room and stored on the bleachers. After a game or tournament or even practice there is equipment that needs to go back into the room and person clothing gets in the way. Also no food or water in the room. CUSD rule.

Masters has asked us to not hook the pool covers together. If they are and the wind gets under them it complicates the job of trying to straighten them out and get them on the cover reels.

As you know next weekend is our first tournament which we host. There will be a snack bar and Joiners signup will be posted Tuesday. We also have to keep the official book for 12 games and team stats for 7 games. Joiners will be posted Tuesday for this also. We would encourage freshman parents and other upper class parents who have't done it yet and who have the flexibility to be at games to sign up to get trained by looking over shoulders. It is not that difficult once you get the hang of it but you do need to be the type that can be concentrating on the game since action comes fast and furious at times. As I mentioned at the parents meeting, it is the best seat at the pool for observing the games and learning to understand the game and it is a lot of fun.

For the varsity team going to Wilcox  (announced Tuesday) there will be some administrative issues this week. Tuesday we will send home a parent Consent and Medical Authorization form that must be returned by Thursday. The player contribution for the overnight motel will be $30 which needs to be paid to the ASB secretary by Thursday also. More details to follow.
