First day of practice for football, volleyball and cross country is Monday, Aug. 1.
Volleyball and Football Practices will run from approximately 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., Monday through Friday.
Athletes are expected to arrive before 7:40 a.m. at the HS gymnasium. High school athletes only for Football and Volleyball.
Cross Country practices will run from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., Monday through Friday until school begins. Junior High and High School athletes are expected for Cross Country.
“I ask that if possible, please try to make it to one of the last remaining Summer workout dates, so that you may begin getting your body acclimated to the heat and conditioning,” said Bailey. “This will also give us a chance to get your equipment and locker ready to go before practice begins. The last week of workouts are scheduled for July 24th - July 28th from 8-11 a.m.”
“It looks like it will be a hot one when practices begin, so make sure you are hydrating now before practices start,” he added.
All incoming 7th, 9th and 11th graders will also need to have an updated physical exam if they have not done so. Physicals are good for two years, so if it has been longer than two years or the student is new to athletics, they will need to get it updated.
