Clearances

Message from the Athletic Department:
"Due to the great volume, the health and athletic trainer departments are still entering data --- hence, I cannot approve addition athletes today. My best guess is that tomorrow around 10am I’ll give you updated lists.
FYI, the health Department will ‘probably’ need at least 2-3 days approval time! Please don’t bug them, they are working as fast as they can. Remember these forms should have been in weeks ago."


There is a new system that is being used this year and processing forms takes more time. Therefore, if you were not already cleared but submitted forms you will not be able to practice today. If you are not cleared you should still attend practice today.

Coach

* Posted is a preliminary roster of girls who expressed interest. If your name is not on the list end me an email. coach.kgc@gmail.com

Go Blue!

Info

Hello,
As the summer progresses, I wanted to remind you of a few things.

* If you have not already done so, physical forms are do to the nurse ASAP.
* Preseason dates are Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday 5:30-7pm at Woodman. It is not mandatory but if you are not on vacation I encourage you to attend.
* Fall Season (Cross Country) official practice is Monday, August 16 at 5:30pm at Woodman.
* The team is schedule for the Impact (concussion screening) on August 12 @ 11am in the MAC Lab (computer lab by the cafe in the main building). You MUST have a test in order to practice on Monday.
* I will post a roster on the blog of who has handed in their forms and their clearance status.
* Equipment- I strongly recommend a new pair of trainers (sneaker) for the Fall. If your trainers are old you will begin to have injuries.
* If you will be away for the Impact screen email me separately.
* Periodically check the blog for info.
* If you have any questions or concerns, email me.

While Cross Country season is typically for the distance team, if you are not participating in another fall sport and plan on running, jumping or throwing Indoor (winter) and/or Spring (outdoor) I strongly suggest you join the Cross Country team. It will give you the foundation necessary to be ready for the Indoor and Outdoor seasons. Non-distance runners workouts are different. Fall training allows the non-distance runners to get in shape.

I am looking forward to another great year!

See you at the track.

Coach Golding-Cooper

ProActive Evaluations

A few days after school closed, Coach Wallace and I visited a new state of the art facility located in Montclair. I was able to form a relationship with ProActive Sports Therapy to help us reach the next level. We have a great opportunity to have ProActive provide low cost evaluations and recommendations for injury prevention. On Wednesday, July 14th at 9am, Stephen Blayney, Director of Physical Therapy, will come to Woodman. In order to take advantage a medical waiver must be completed and a $5.00 fee (the booster will pay the balance) The medical waiver is posted under "info".

I am excited about the opportunity to partner with ProActive.

Hello,

Hello,
I'm reaching out to see who would be available to work the concession for our home meets.  This will be our first year opening the concessions for our dual meets during the week.  In the past, concessions were available during our weekend meets but due to the impending budget cut, its necessary for us to raise money to ensure the track program will not have to reduce the amount of meets we participate in.

Currently, Bonnie Knox is our parent coordinator. She will be out of town next week so I will be the contact for our first meet on Monday.  We will need at least 4 parents at each meet with 2 parents from the boys team and 2 from the girls.  The meet starts at 4pm with the opposing team arriving by 3:30pm.  While I never give a time the meets conclude, I can estimate 6:30pm.  The items I am proposing to sell at the Monday meets are:
Water
Gatorade
Chewy Granola and/or power bars
Hotdogs (?)
Oranges (?)
I'd like to stay away from candy and junk foods as I've been trying to promote healthy eating.

The easiest way is for parents to donate items to sell.  If needed I can pick up a few things at Costco on Sunday.
I have a cash box and start up change.

Please let me know who is available and what items you can donate.

Thank you for your support.

Coach Golding-Cooper
