Captains’ practices August 16th – 27th

We hope that all of you are having a wonderful summer and are enjoying
the time off from school. But as you know, school is starting up once
again in about a month which means our practices for this year's swim
team will also start. Before we begin officially, though, our annual
captains' practices will be held on the following dates at the end of
the summer:

August 16th - August 27th
Monday through Friday
8:00am - 10:00am

We will meet at the Westport Public Longshore Pool. Also, these
practices are not just for the swim team, but for the diving team. If
you are going to be on the diving team this year, please join us at
9:00 to participate in team bonding and dry land workouts. The first
hour of these practices will be dedicated to swimming. Unfortunately,
there are no diving boards for the diving team to use at the Longshore
Pools while the swim team uses it.

Please do your best to attend these practices! They will help you
prepare for time trials and also help the team reconnect before school
starts. We can't wait to see you all and catch up. Enjoy the rest of
your summer, girls!

In order to be allowed to participate in any FALL SPORTS TRYOUTS, every athlete must have on record a current health history and physical examination before he/she can participate in a sport and throughout the sport season, including post season championship competitions. “Current” means that the physical examination and history have been completed within the immediate past 12 months.  Please use the NEW HAR-3 Rev 2010 to fulfill this requirement.  Form C Emergency Information form is also mandatory for participation. These forms are available in the Staples HS main office, guidance, health or athletic offices and on the Staples High School website at http://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/staples/athletics/index.html. The completed forms MUST be approved by the nursing office or our athletic trainer prior to tryouts.  Athletes will NOT be allowed to participate in tryouts or practices without approved forms.  Please drop off or mail the completed forms by August 13th to the Health Office.
