Excitement is in the air...

The bad news for many of us is that summer and all of its fun is almost over...

The good news is we are getting geared up for another exciting fall sports' season!

If you have been by the school or have driven or walked around the community lately you have noticed an increase in student athlete traffic. You have seen the cheerleaders working out on the track, football working hard on the turf, field hockey putting in strategy during practice, girls' swimming working on technique, volleyball sweating in the hot gyms as they run through drills, both cross country teams running throughout the neighborhood, girls' golf teeing it off at Plumbrook, and boys' tennis working on their swings at Elworthy...needless to say, all of this represents the fact that school is getting closer to starting and with that brings the opening of a new sports' season.

Along with our student athletes working hard, our coaches have been putting in a ton of time as well. Long after the student athletes are gone, it is typical to still find our coaches "hanging around" going over strategy, tough personnel decisions, and the many other things that involve coaching. Our coaches have also gone through professional development this summer dealing with team dynamics and communication in an effort to become even better coaches. When I speak to them and our student athletes, I can hear the excitement in their voices as they wait for their respective seasons to begin.

Hopefully you are excited as well and I look forward to seeing you at the games this fall...
