BEING PREPARED

Students are expected to come prepared to practice each day:

  • Have appropriate footwear and clothing.
  • Be on time, stay for the entire practice, work hard.
  • Have a good attitude, have fun improving.

 

ATTENDANCE

If you are unable to attend practice you must:

  • Bring a note ahead of time - no note constitutes an unexcused practice.
  • Speak with the coach.
  • Work harder at the next practice.

  • Being up to 10 minutes late constitutes a tardy.
