Athletic Paperwork 
You can start turning in your athletic paperwork packets to Jackie Anderson now. These are required to be stamped by her before the first official practice! If you don’t have the stamped clearance form, you will not be allowed to practice with the team.

Team Gear
Order team shirts and other apparel online the week of October 14th and the first week of practice. The link to the store will be posted here, in GroupMe and on twitter. Only one team shirt is required as part of our uniform.
Team suits are being prepared at MI sports, you should be able to stop in and order them after preseason starts on 11/11.

Fundraiser
Unfortunately, our primary fundraiser of the Boulder IRONMAN is no more, race directors have decided to relocate the race to Des Moines, Iowa. So this upcoming summer we will  be volunteering at the Boulder HALF IRONMAN in August(?), in addition to another fundraiser to be held during the season, since the grants for the half aren’t as profitable as the full IRONMAN races. I did want to keep this on our schedule since volunteering is great for resumes and community service project hours, it’s also fun. Athletes are expected to take part in both fundraisers.

Information Packet
Take a look! 

Parent & Athlete Meeting
We will be having a parent and athlete informational meeting on Wednesday 11/20 at 6:15pm at LHS, room TBA!

Other Important Stuff
We’ll be welcoming back our awesome assistant coaches from last year, both Matt Murray and CT Robinson (dive coach) will be returning.
