Cancelled Practices

You may have noticed we cancelled practice this morning. Not a common thing for us to do, but with this heavy rain that came with thunder and lightning, it was an easy decision. While 6th & 8th grade teams cancelled practices outright, 5th & 7th grade coaches met with their players in the eqipment shed. They did this to share information with their players, then released them early.

Head coaches at each grade level have this prerogative to keep the kids for a meeting if they want to, or to wait out the rain and practice when it ends (as long as it is safe and lightning has left the area), and will and should let parents know when to pick up players early.

We hope to not have many of these situations, but when they do occur, the kids' safety comes first. As a parent, you have the final decision on whether your son will be at practice. Please check with your coach if you have any doubts or questions. It is what we are here for.

As a reminder, chedk the website and our blogs for current information. In the future, we'll try to give you advance notice here and on the website if we know we are going to cancel.

Thanks, and stay dry today!
