PRACTICE CHANGES (again)

We just received notice from the league commissioner to tentatively cancel practices starting Wed (August 15th) through Friday (August 17th) due to the forecast of high temperatures. Also, the Jamboree for all teams on Saturday (August 18th) has been cancelled because teams will not have enough practice hours to scrimmage against other associations. During those three cancelled practice days, please make sure that your players continue to keep themselves hydrated by continuing good fluid intake as well as exposing them to the heat in small increments so that they remain acclimated to the heat.

Therefore, practice for Tuesday (August 14th) will be extended for an additional 30 minutes (6:00-8:30 pm) and there will be a practice on Saturday (August 18th) from 8:00-10:30 am since there will not be a Jamboree (cheer practice to be determined for Saturday). Also, practices for next week (August 20-24th) will be changed to 6:00-8:30 pm.

We apologize for the slight inconvenience but the players need to get the practice hours necessary in order for them to be eligible to play by the first game (still scheduled to begin August 25th--for now). They also need practices so that they will be safe because they know what they are doing out on the field during a game.

We realize that there will be "Meet the Teacher" events next week and encourage players to do so but also encourage them to come to practice late (better late than never).

If the weather forecast changes and the league commissioner allows associations to resume practices for the rest of the week, it will be immediately posted.

Please continue to be patient as last minute changes are made due to the extremely unusually high temperatures.
