Coaches Report
Take a look at the clock/ scorebook volunteer sign up for any open spots, there are only 3 more home games.
We are in the planning stages for the new gym utilizing bond money. If you have any ideas or thoughts, please send them to Coach Swanson. There is a first draft that will encompass improvements to the locker room and gym space.
We have had such positive feedback on the team dinners, thank you for everyone that has helped out.
Schedule changes will occur for those athletes playing other team sports, individual sports will not have schedule changes.
Off-season goals will be to continue to strength train and gain muscle mass.
We are using booster funds for travel gear, practice gear, Varsity uniforms, freshman uniform updates, resurface the gym floor and weight room equipment.
We only have 7 games left, 3 of them at home. There is still a chance to make playoffs and we are working on making improvements and hoping for some success as we wind up the season. Let’s all work together to stay motivated and work hard to support our teams for the remainder of the season.
