Braves,
Tomorrow is our first practice of the summer. We will be
starting at 7:30 AM at the track, please be on time, so we can begin on time to
try and help those that have jobs or other responsibilities get finished with
the workout before needing to leave.
We are very excited for this upcoming season and the
opportunities that are ahead of us. We have an awesome group returning from
last season, and some great kids joining us. I have talked to many of the new
kids joining us, and you all will be an awesome addition to our team and will
make the team better, and the experience of the season better. We look forward
to a fun summer filled with tough training and fun experiences/memories with
your teammates. Cross country is a sport unlike any other in part because of
how hard you work with and for each other over the course of a long season. Our
season is one of the longest, spanning from the beginning of summer to late
fall. It is such a fun season that we are lucky to be a part of.
There are a few things to know heading in to this week, so
take a few minutes to read through it and let me know if you have any questions
about anything.
We will be practicing every day this week only. After this
week it will be Monday/Wednesday/some Fridays. Several people have communicated
with us that they will be missing certain day(s) this week, and we appreciate
that. We realize people are vacationing, so if you know you are going to miss,
let us know, and make sure you are still running even while you’re gone.
There is a $25 fee for summer conditioning, that fee includes
a t shirt, chocolate milk, Gatorade, and coach’s pay. I just ordered a mountain
of Gatorade mix through Gatorade that should last the summer (I will order more
if needed). Please have that fee paid by Friday. The office is open all week,
and you can pay any of the secretaries, just tell them it is for summer cross
country. Make checks out to bountiful high, and don’t bring them to the
coaches, because we cannot take them.
Each of you participating this summer will be getting a t
shirt. Those shirts will be light weight, red, with our logo printed on the
left chest corner, and another logo on the back. These shirts come in men’s and
women’s cut, so I will need your preferred sizes.
I will order those t shirts on Monday 6/12 (I am waiting a
week to order them so that those who are out of town have a chance to pay/get
their sizes in). Along with the t shirt, there is an OPTIONAL clothing order
form that I have attached here. You can order nothing, one thing, or multiple
things, and that is not a problem at all. Nobody is required to purchase
anything, but for those who are interested this is an option. I will send the
first round of orders in on Monday 6/12. We will do another round of orders at
the end of the summer to accommodate those who missed the summer training.
There is a t shirt on the order form that is 50/50 cotton/poly that is
different in design and material from the one you all will receive for the
summer program, so be aware of that. Even if you don’t order anything, but are
doing summer training, please bring me the order form with your size for the
summer t shirt. Let me know if you have any questions about any of the items.
I know this is a lot, and we haven’t quite yet started, I am
just getting too anxious to wait. We are excited for tomorrow and look forward
to a great first day.
Coach Jacobson
