2nd day Success

We had another great practice today!

There are a few girls who need to turn in some signed forms and T-Shirt money for Volleyball.

Please remind your daughter to color the volleyball and return it to me.  This volleyball will go on their school locker.  I will not take any decorated volleyballs after Friday.

WEDNESDAY PRACTICE….. We will end practice at 5:00pm.  The girls are working hard and we have covered a lot of information, so I feel we can end practice at 5:00 for the rest of the week.  Way to practice hard ladies!

Great 1st Day

We had a great first day of conditioning.  Today we will be working on our basic volleyball skills with conditioning.  We will get out at 5:45pm.  I know that we have several that are cheer leaders and they will need to leave earlier.  Those girls can make up the work up on a different day.

For the girls who are not playing volleyball, you will begin off season basketball today.  Off season will not have after school practice.  They will meet with Coach Hutchins-Boyett today during Athletics.

Have a Great Day!

Welcome to 8th Grade Athletics

Welcome to 8th Grade Athletics

There are many changes upon entering 8th grade athletics.  Please read the following information:

Please bring black shorts or black spandex for volleyball.  Your volleyball work out shirt will be provided.  If you are not in volleyball, you will be issued the off season work out clothes. Please bring running shoes to keep in your athletic locker. We have a new gym floor and are not allowed to wear street shoes on it.

Please have a lock on your dressing room locker at all times.  White Oak MS is not responsible for anything left out and stolen. Keep the dressing room picked up at all times.  If the dressing room is left a mess, the entire athletic class will run. There are names on lockers, please do not more your name to a different locker without asking permission.  There is not enough lockers for everyone to have a locker to their self.  I put as many as I could with only a few of you sharing lockers.  I will need everyone’s lock combination just in case of emergencies.

When dressing out for athletics there are a few rules.  Please make sure your hair is pulled back in a tight pony tail, hair out of your eyes and all jewelry off. Every athlete will be required to dress out and participate unless there is a doctor’s note. Your grade in athletics will be determined on following the rules mentioned above.  Every six weeks each athlete will start with a grade of 100.  Two points will be deducted each day the athlete does not follow the rules listed above.

Cell phones will need to be locked up in the locker room during the athletic period. Phones are not to be checked during athletic class or during practice. Game days, phones also need to stay locked in the lockers while we play at home.  Away games, phones will be taken up and given back after their game.  Each girl will need to bring a ziplock baggie with their name on it. Coaches will take phones up as we enter the bus and then returned on the ride home.

Monday everyone will need to bring running shoes. We will be conditioning on Monday. Practice will be till 5:15pm. Please pick your daughter up on time after practice. Parents may pick the daughter up at the side door of the gym. Monday we have open house/meet the teacher at our middle school campus at 5:30pm – 6:30pm.  I hope you take this opportunity to meet with your daughter’s teachers.

Please bring all the paper work to athletics on Monday. Those who did not received their paperwork will be able to pick it up on Monday and return it on Tuesday.  Practice on Tuesday will end at 5:30. Girls will be allowed to practice but not allowed to play in games until all paper work is turned in.

I am looking forward to having a great year!  If you have any questions please contact me at [email protected] or 903-291-2070.

Open Gyms

We will have three days of open gym this week:  Tuesday from 10-12;  Thursday and Friday from 4-6pm.  I am not expecting you to make it every day.  The girls can do what ever they want during this time, this is not a requirement.  I just want to give the girls an opportunity to get a ball in their hand before school starts.  I will have the volleyball packets there for pick up on all open gyms.

GO LADYNECKS!!

Volleyball Paper work!!

I have volleyball packets for each girl to pick up at the MIDDLE / High School GYM.  I will be in a gym from 2:30 to 5:30 TODAY (Thursday).  If you can swing by during that time it would help.

We will have OPEN GYM on Tuesday, August 13, 10am to 12pm.  I know not everyone can attend and that is fine.  I will try to get more open gyms so everyone can start getting a ball in their hand!

****We have a new floor in both gyms****  Please do NOT wear your volleyball shoes out side of the gym.  We must change into our court shoes when we get in the gym.

If you have questions or comments please email me.  (email:  [email protected])

Thanks so much.  I look forward to a GREAT year!
