Summer Reminders

As we head into summer practices, here are a few reminders for the athletes:

Bring running shoes to every practice- we may be running outside around the pond.
Bring a water bottle.
Be sure to keep your body energized with healthy fuels. Bring a healthy snack to practice and drink plenty of water before, during, and AFTER practice. Click Here for some Great Snack Ideas!
Let your coach know if you are going to miss practice.
Let your coach know if you are not feeling well and need to modify practice - LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!
Any injuries should be checked out by a doctor. Please reach out to Kristen or Belle ([email protected] or [email protected]) if you have questions regarding this or need information for the team doctor.
