EVENING PRACTICE, Sign Up Form: So that the coaches can plan accordingly, we are asking swimmers to notify us when they need to attend evening practice(s). Morning practices are preferred; Evening practice is not meant to be a substitute for morning. It’s for those unable to attend mornings due to a prior commitment.
This process also helps coaches know the capacity to allow for those who are interested in double practices. Those wishing to attend double practices need to clear it with Coach Jeff, [email protected] before summer to make sure there will be adequate room.
To let us know when your swimmer needs to attend evening practice, click HERE.
