Weekly News for 10/26/2009 to 11/02/2009

 

*     Unexcused/Poor excuse absences: It is the time of year that I need to remind everyone of our unexcused/poor excuse absence policy. If an athlete misses (or is more than 15 minutes late to a practice), and is unexcused or does not have a legitimate excuse they will be suspended from the matches that occur that week. If an athlete is missing due to sickness, or injury a doctor’s note must be provided to a coach. The note needs to include how many days the athlete needs to be out of practice. If possible please try to schedule dentist and orthodontist appointments in the afternoon. If trouble with transportation is foreseen it the athlete’s responsibility to use the phone list that he has been provided to arrange alternate means of transportation from a teammate. Too many absences, will result in too many missed matches, and could lead to dismissal from the team.

*     Low on towels: If you have any bathroom towels that you do not use, please consider donating them to the team. We currently use every towel we have, and are anticipating more athletes. To be honest some towels have had a long, hard life and need to be retired.
