We are distributing the Team Handbook this week at practice to every athlete. Athletes and their parents/guardians will need to review it and sign it. Our first meet is in two weeks and the handbooks must be signed and returned prior to the meet. Any athlete without a returned handbook will unfortunately be unable to compete.
