SIGN UPS: Please note that if you have not signed your child up by June 15th; they will not be able to swim in the first meet. The absolute LAST DAY for sign ups will be June 15th. As soon as we have a roster, we will post it on the bulletin board at the pool – please make sure that your child’s name is on the roster and let us know if it is does not appear.
VOLUNTEERS: As with every other sport, the Sharks need volunteers. Positions range from timer to concessions to runners to stroke & turn judges. If you have any interest in any volunteer position, please contact Sharon Armentrout (271-1389, armentrout.sharon@va.sysco.com) or Beth Arnold arnoldeaa@gmail.com – there will also be sign up sheets at practices and on-line on Sign-Up Genius.
CONCESSIONS: At each of our home meets, we will provide concessions. This is an excellent fundraising opportunity for us and keeps the cost of our program to a minimum. This year we will need parent volunteers to cook/serve during the meets, and we are hoping to get LOTS of volunteers – the more folks we have helping out, the less time each will need to work! Also, we will need some food to be donated by parents – the more donations – the more money we have for the kids! Items for donation will be posted on Sign Up Genius. Our Concession Lead is Amanda Holsinger.
MISSING A MEET: Please notify our coaches by using “The Book” to sign out your swimmer from a meet. This book will be at all practices. Please make a note of any meets that your child will miss by the preceding Thursday of the meet – that will allow time to put meet entries together by the following Monday. Don’t forget – in order to swim in the Championship Meet on July 28th, each swimmer must participate in at least 2 regular season meets!
CHAMPS: The VSL Championship Meet will be held this year at Godwin Hall on JMU’s campus, and the Sharks are responsible for Champs t-shirt and heat sheets.
HEAT SHEET ADS: As a team, we are responsible for providing advertisements to put into the Heat Sheet. This is a great way to advertise your business or just wish your swimmer GOOD LUCK. Ads and payments must be turned in to Sharon by mid July, but it’s never too early – check with local businesses to see if they would be willing to sponsor an ad. See attached for sizes and cost.
EMAIL ADDRESS: We will be providing information during the season via e-mail and the website. Please be sure to have your e-mail updated at registration or contact Sharon at 271-1389 (armentrout.sharon@va.sysco.com)
FACEBOOK PAGE: Please go and join the group and then add your Facebook friends that are also members of the Sharks. Here is the link for the Sharks Facebook page, this is a closed group:
