Schedule For The First Two Weeks of Practice
Monday, August 10 2015 - First Day of PracticeWe (Coach Wolf, Coach Marose and Coach Dunne) can't wait until we can see our fantastic athletes on the first day of practice! The first day of practice is scheduled for Wednesday, August 12th at 8:00 am.
We will meet for all practices by the stone benches. These stone benches are located at the entrance to the Westmont High School athletic complex, or where you would enter for home football or boys soccer games during the fall athletics season.
The weather in August (and even into September!) tends to be rather hot and humid. Make sure you have plenty of water with you on Wednesday for practice!
***IMPORTANT***ALL athletes are expected to bring a copy of their completed, up-to-date physical to practice on Wednesday! Freshmen: You need a complete physical before you can practice. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors, a sports physical is fine.
If you need a sports physical, you can go to a Walgreens or CVS or other similar location and get that done there. Make sure you get a hard copy to bring with you to practice on Wednesday.
If we do not have this completed physical in our hands at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, August 12th, you will NOT be allowed to practice and we will send you home!
