Happy first day of practice! As we discussed at the informational meeting, practices this season will be mandatory. If you want to travel to races, you need to be at practice every day. That said, we know there will be days you are sick/need to stay at school late/have other commitments. We've designed a worksheet that will allow you to make up practice in case you need to miss a few. You can get credit two missed practices per week, MAX, by completing this worksheet and turning it into Meghan on the Monday following the week you missed practice(s).  You can access the worksheet by clicking  here . Please download it, print it off and then fill it out throughout the week so it is ready to be turned in to Meghan on the following Monday.  If you will be missing practice, still let us know ahead of time. If you're sick, let us know but don't come to practice!!!
