block
I will NOT give you a pass to
class because you “WERE LATE DUE TO PRACTICE”… LOL
NOT MY FAULT
YEAR ROUNDER’S
In the past
Year rounder’s
were not required, asked or forced
to swim with MCHS swimmers during the week. THIS WILL CHANGE. You will be
required to attend the practice before the meet.
REASON:
This will help me go over important meet information, explain
last minute changes (which I do not like to make) and any other game day
decisions.
CONSEQUENCE: you will NOT SWIM at the MEET.
***MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES.***
We are a team…we need to feel like one.

words or actions directed at the officials, studentathletes, coaches, team representatives, or other
spectators will not be tolerated and are grounds for
removal from the site of competition.
**In addition if we are sited…The team must pay $400
before we swim again….and the swimmer must take a
sportsmanship course through NCHSAA. The player is
subject to ejection as well as the coach….Lets just say
