Lees' Hill Lightning - AWAY Meet - Spotswood - June 26, 2013

Lee’s Hill Lightning Families,

I hope everyone had a great weekend, and all the swimmers are looking forward to a great week of practice! I know that Coach Jay passed on to all the swimmer’s what a great job they did at the exhibition meet, and how very well all our swimmers conducted themselves during the meet.  Our swimmers set an excellent example for the other team on how to act during a meet. We actually got complements from the other team on how well all our Lightning Swimmers behaved. Let’s keep that great example at this week’s away meet.

As promised – here is an update for this week’s AWAY meet against Spotswood.

Wednesday June 26th AWAY Meet Schedule:

Swimmers are to report to the Spotswood pool at ~4:30 PM

Check in with Coach Jay at 4:45 PM, and get settled

Home Team warm ups start at 5:00 PM

Away Team warms up at 5:30 PM

As this is an AWAY meet, all volunteers please check in with me as you arrive.

Listen for the announcement for all Lane Timers and Stroke and Turn Officials to meet with the Head Timer and Referee respectively, normally around 5:45 PM location to be announced.

Meet Starts promptly at 6:00 PM.

I am still in need of a few volunteers for the following very important positions:

Award Clerk	Second Half
Clerk of Course	Second Half
Head Clerk of Course*	Second Half
Scorer - Data Entry	Second Half
Scoring - Data Checker	Second Half
Stroke and Turn*	Second Half

 

Really need some volunteers for the scoring room!  No Training required! Job will be explained to you by the Head Scorer. The job description is also listed on the website. If you have the training for any of the other positions listed and you can help – please go to SignUpGenius and sign up.  I would like to get all the positions filled as soon as I can.  That way I do not have to lose any sleep worrying. 

Reminder about the "Missed Meet" Form - please notify Coach Jay by Monday afternoon if your child will not be at the meet. (Don't forget to mention all the swimmers in your family that won't be there). The form is on the website, in the Family Box at the pool during practice, or you can email Coach Jay at usa_aus@verizon.net.

For any new families – the 2013 Swim Team Handbook is on the website.  There is a lot of valuable information covered.

Let’s all have fun this week! See you at the pool!

Go Lightning!
