Hello Hammerheads!

We look forward to seeing you all under the awning tonight for the banquet which has a 6 pm start! Rain or shine we will be there! It is a pot luck dinner though there will be some pizza so dishes are appreciated. Don’t miss this event!

Hey dudes!

So I hope you are all extremely excited for the amazing week ahead! Here’s all the details for all your divers (and all of you who want to come and cheer them on!)

WARMUPs:  In an effort to get acquainted with the board, The Grist Mill will be holding a diving practice the night before the all diving meet for all divers. Warmups are on THURSDAY, AUGUST 6th from 5 to 7. I will be the only coach from Highridge going to the warmup, however I strongly encourage all divers to make their best effort to attend. I have plenty of room in my car if any children will be needing a ride. I suggest getting to the Grist Mill around 4:30/4:45 so we can get on the board as fast as possible. I will be leaving from Highridge at 4:00 if any parents would like me to drive their children or if anyone would like to follow me. The plan is to leave The Grist Mill by 5:45 so we can get back to Highrdige for the pep rally!!!

CHAMPIONSHIPS: The All Diving Meet will be held at Grist Mill on FRIDAY, AUGUST 7th. Diving warm-ups will begin at 7:30 am for 12 and under divers, while the 13 and over divers will warm-up upon the completion of the 12 and under diving. However, these warm-ups are extremely short and simply can not substitute for the practice the night before!!!! The diving awards will be presented at the conclusion of the diving finals.

As the time gets closer I’ll post directions to the Grist Mill, and feel free to stop me at the club anytime if you have any questions (I’m basically living here for the next week). See you guys around!

The Lap-a-thon is taking place on Tuesday, August 4th at Highridge from 9 AM - 12 PM.  The forms for the Lap-a-thon MUST be turned in by Monday, August 3rd.  The forms can be handed in to Alyssa, Doug, or the Highridge front desk. 

 If you need a form, you can either pick one up from the front desk or this link should lead you to it.

Please let me know if you will be unable to attend!  This is a great fundraiser for the team and we hope to see you all there!

 Thanks,

Alyssa

Hello Hammerhead Families!

We have our last dual meet of the season on Thursday at Seekonk Swim and Tennis Club. We are asking that you arrive by 8:15. The address of the club is 255 Davis Street in Seekonk, MA 02771. Please e-mail me/post ASAP if your children will not be able to attend Thursday’s meet.

Throughout the rest of this week, Doug & I will be handing out parent information sheets regarding what was discussed at the Parent’s Meeting this past Sunday. We will also post all information on the blog by the end of this week. We need eight timers and four runners for Saturday, August 8th — the first day of the All Pool Meet. The reason we need so many parents is because you will only have to time/run one event such as freestyle if we can get enough parents to split the workload. If you would like to step forward, there will be a sign up sheet on the front bulletin board starting Wednesday. Any help is appreciated.

MacCall Field ( Fuller ) is looking to host a Relay Carnival for the Small Teams Division Monday (August 3) in the afternoon. Highridge has responded as an attending team and it will be a fun event so we encourage everyone to come! More information on this will follow.

Also, our Lap-a-thon will take place next Tuesday. Fundraising sheets will go home with children tomorrow after practice and I will post up a copy of the sheet that you will be able to download. These are due Monday, August 3. If you cannot give them to me Monday I ask that you drop them off at the club with the front desk before Monday. It is necessary so that we can organize everything for Tuesday’s events. This fundraiser has been extremely helpful so we are really looking for a good turnout.

We will have more information for you shortly!

Thanks,
The Hammerhead Coaches
