First week - its go time!

Its go time!

I've always held the belief its important to be ready to go when  a season, school year, or anything has a set start time/date.  Be ready, be excited, and help everybody move forward toward a successful year.  If everybody is on the same page then great inertia can begin together, however if there are a handful that don't buy into this or show up late then the team is held up and everyone is on a different page.  From there its always hard to get them together.  Solid starts are important!  Be at practice, have your paperwork printed and signed, and please be ready to go!

We currently have 60 girls on the roster, only 22 of them have up-to-date physicals in the school's possession.  You cannot practice if you do not have the OHSAA physical updated!  Reminders and links for this have been given since before summer started.


yellow means expired, red means soon-to-expire

Please remember to have the EMA form and handbook forms turned in as well for the first practice.  A link to print these can be found on the SJA "athletics" website - http://www.sja1890.org/?_athletics
