News and Announcements
Parent Meeting on Monday
The Fall Sports Meeting is at 6pm Monday in the auditorium. We will break out into our Cross Country meeting immediately after – probably around 6:30pm. Please plan to attend as there will be important information from the coaches and the boosters. The booster club does ask for a $20 donation per athlete to help cover snacks, water and Gatorade at all the meets, as well as 3 team pasta dinners and pizza at the Desert Twilight Meet. We do not ask you to do any fundraising (other than the no-cost fundraising) throughout the season. If you would like to bring your donation on Monday evening, we will gladly accept it! We will have a few past season t-shirts, decals and water bottles for sale as well.
Tuesday Practice – Wear Orange!
We will be taking our sponsor banner photo on Tuesday at practice (6pm). Athletes should wear an orange shirt if they have one. If you do not have an orange shirt, please wear grey or white.
T-Shirt Orders
We will be accepting orders/prepayment for this season’s t-shirt. Note that all athletes get their t-shirt paid for by the boosters and we have their sizes already. This is just for family members. The order form is attached to this posting. Orders must be in by this coming Thursday, August 16th. We apologize for the tight schedule, but we need the shirts back before the first meet. Orders and payment can be brought to the parent meeting or sent in with your athlete on Tuesday or Thursday to practice.
Swim Party on Saturday!
All athletes are invited to the team swim party on Saturday, August 18th from 5-8pm. Pizza, drinks and other snacks will be provided by the boosters (vegan and gluten free options). Just bring your suit and towel and come have some fun! The party will be hosted by the Montana family. The address was sent out in the email. Please contact Kristi Johnson at kristijohn@hotmail.com if you need the address.

Volunteers Needed
We are looking for people to help throughout the season in a couple of areas:
– Facebook – if you like to Facebook, we can use your help updating our FB page.
– Photography – we are looking for a few people who could take pictures throughout the season. If you can aim and shoot you are more than qualified. Photos can be uploaded to our Shutterfly site.
Have a great week!

Booster Club Meeting on Thursday
We are having a booster club meeting this Thursday the 26th at 5pm at Kristi Johnson’s house (5820 W Robinson Way, Chandler). All are invited to come get involved in supporting the team. We are looking for parents to help out with photography, bringing cold towels to the meets, keeping up the Facebook page, banquet, etc. Many of these jobs can be split between multiple people. If you are interested in helping but can’t make the meeting, please contact Kristi at kristijohn@hotmail.com.
Remember to Register!
The first day of school and regular season practice is coming up fast, and your athlete will not be able to participate until registration is complete. Registration is done online through www.registermyathlete.com. A sports physical is required every year and our sponsor FastMed Urgent Care offers them for $25 with the coupon from their website. Go to www.fastmed.com for more information and locations.
Saturday Practice
This week’s practice is at Papago Park (6th Street Park) at 5:30am. The map is on the website under “INFO” and “SUMMER RUNNING SCHEDULE”.
Injury Prevention Handout
An injury prevention handout we received at camp has been uploaded to the website under “DOCUMENTS”. The series of exercises and stretches use bands and body weight to strengthen small support muscles and improve recovery. Great information!
Enjoy those last couple of weeks of summer!
.
Practice Schedule
Practice will be Monday through Thursday at 6am at Corona through the start of school. Saturday practices will be at 5:30am and will rotate locations. This week it is at South Mountain.
Camp
We had a fun and successful trip up to NAU for camp. One of our sessions was with a sport psychologist who works with many college and professional athletes. She emailed a handout which I will upload to the “FORMS” section of the website. It has some interesting techniques to work on focus, imagery, relaxation, etc. It is good information for parents as well as the athletes!
We would like to give a shout out to the GNC Store located in the Fry’s center on Rural and Ray. They set us up with some discounted protein bars and rehydration powder for the camp bags. Thank you so much!
Registration
Don’t forget to register your athlete for the upcoming season. Go to “LINKS” on the website for more information. Once again, our sponsor FastMed Urgent Care does sports physicals for $25 (with coupon from their website) and they also take many insurance plans.
Tax Credit Donation
Consider doing a tax credit donation to either Boys or Girls Cross Country. This money is used to pay our coaches and pay for the athletes’ food at the banquet. Go to “LINKS” on the website for more information.
