7/24 update

Braves,

We had a pretty tough week at Lewis Park and on Mill Street. Great job taking advantage of those workouts, which were designed to be tough. The workouts over the next month are going to be challenging as we move into the final weeks of our preseason. In order to get ready for the season there are a few things that each of you needs to do.

First, you need to go to http://www.registermyathlete.com/ and register for cross country. Some of you have begun the process and not finished, and only a couple of you have completed it. This has to be done by August 1^st, which is a week from Monday, otherwise you may not be able to compete. It is not a difficult process, you can do it in only a few minutes. Please do not procrastinate it further. I’ve attached a form that should answer some of the questions you have. To finish the process you need to have a physical, and I address that below.

Second, you need to get a physical, Mountain West Orthopedics and SportsMed Physical Therapy are again offering free physicals to our student athletes for the fall sports season.  They will be held at 6:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 4^th at the Mountain West Orthopedics Office: 1551 Renaissance Towne Dr. Suite 400 Bountiful, UT 84010  (The big building behind Maverick off of the 1500 south Round-About) 4^th floor.  The student/athletes must bring in their Physical Form to the appointment and the Questionnaire and Health Report must be filled out by the parents and they (the Student and the Parent) MUST SIGN AND DATE IT before a physical can take place.  (See Attached for the form – it’s called “forma”). Once you have finished the physical you can then complete the rest of register my athlete. If you wait to have your physical done on the 4^th, simply do all you can before you have the physical, then finish it on the 4^th. Obviously, you are welcome to go elsewhere to complete the physical, this is just one option.

Third, you need to pay the athletic fees for cross country. The fees are $90 I believe and cover drug testing, transportation, and fees sent down from the district. You can pay these online at mydsd if I have put your name into the system (I’m hoping to have that done by Monday afternoon). If not, you can always pay in the office.

Monday’s practice will be shorter than most given that some are celebrating pioneer day that day. We will begin promptly at 7:30, so arrive on time, and we should be done around 8:30. We will be at the track for the entire time so you can plan rides accordingly. 

Thanks for all you do and we look forward to a great week. Feel free to contact me with any questions, thanks.
