WSF Swim Meet.Just so everyone is on the page concerning the upcoming meet next weekend, January 26-27th, here are a few details to help everyone. The Starfish & Rising Stars (all 14 & Unders) swim in the afternoons-both Saturday and Sunday. The meet is located at the Southwest Valley YMCA (where we swam at the November meet), 2919 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ
Warm-ups are estimated to start at 1:00p.m. both days and meet starting at 2:00p.m. Please be on time for warm-ups! Everyone needs to wear BEST team apparel. Saturday we will wear Red BEST shirts & Sunday we will wear White. The entries are posted on the age group bulletin board.
"Coach/Parent Conferences" Informational Flyers.Please check your mailboxes for flyers next Tuesday, January 22nd. I will e-mail this information out to everyone at that time also. I conducted Coach/Parent Conferences (much like Teacher/Parent) for many years when I was the Head Age Group Coach in Indiana. I am trying to get this organized for late January to early February. Please make sure you read this very important info coming soon!
Spring/Summer 2008 Practice Schedules.As people/families begin to make preliminary plans for the upcoming spring and summer, I am beginning to get questions concerning the spring & summer schedule for the Starfish and Rising Star groups. At this point in time, I cannot give you the confirmed schedule for the upcoming summer, but I can estimate that it will be close to the schedule that we ran last summer. It was as follows:
Present Schedule runs through the end of the school year.
The changeover to the team's summer practice schedule will most likely go into effect either the week of June 2nd or 9th.
The summer schedule ran through late July, with the majority of August off for vacation and the start of school.
Last year's schedule (summer 2007)=Mon/Wed/Fri 11:15a.m.-12:15p.m.; Tue/Thu 4-5:15p.m.; Sat. 11a.m.-12Noon.
The Starfish were schedule for Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Sat
More precise information will follow in late February.
The Rising Stars were offered everyday, except Sunday.
The Starfish and Rising Stars were offered four meets last summer season.
We do now have the ribbons for the Glendale Gauchos Swim Meet in December.
Have a great week!
