No Practice Tonight 6-3-10 due to BSHS graduation ceremonies.

Some Highlights and News from the parents meeting:
-Starting next week (6-7) there will be morning practice on M/W/F starting at 8 AM led by Coach Drew.  Morning practice is open to HS swimmers including rising freshman.  If there is a circumstance where morning practice works better for you and your swimmer does not fit the HS category, please discuss your individual situations with Coach Victor and Drew and they will try to accommodate the situation.
-Concession stand sign up sheets are now available for you to sign up for item(s).  The concession stand is our biggest summer fundraiser and it cannot be successful without your help and donations.  You can sign up at www.timetosignup.com/smscsharks.  Please contact Barb Brinton if you have any questions.
-SMSC will be having a Give Back Night at Chili's on Monday June 28th.  SMSC will receive 10% of all sales that day when the attached flyer is presented to the server.  Please print out multiple copies and give them to friends/neighbors and co-workers.  This is a simple way for the club to secure some additional funds to help with the running of the club.  Also, there will be no practice that evening so we can maximize participation from the team.  Look forward to seeing you there on the 28th.
- We also discussed parent volunteers at meets and Lisa Webber will again be our meet director and looking for parents to help at all the swim meets.  So please help out when Lisa asks.
- We will be having another meeting in late June or early July to discuss team gift, coaches gifts, elections, and the end of season party.  I will send out that information once the date is set.

Meet Schedule
Our first meet is rapidly approaching and is next Saturday 6-12 at Bobcat.  Coach Drew will be posting a sign up sheet at the pool by Monday for you to indicate your availability for all the meets this season.  As mentioned at the meeting, it is important that you indicate yes or no for each meet so that an accurate lineup can be made.  This helps the meets start on time and run smoother.

Bobcat is located at  
Northeastern High School 300 High Street Manchester, PA  17345.  The pool is located on the right side of the building if you are looking at it from High Street. They have connected the old Middle School to the high school so it is important that you come in from the front or you will not be able to get into the pool. SMSC will warm up at 8 AM and the meet should start at 9 AM or just after.  Directions are below.

From the Harrisburg Area (North):  Take I-83 South to Exit 24 (Emigsville Exit). Turn left at the traffic light at end of exit ramp and proceed to second traffic light making a left turn onto N. George Street (Rt. 181 North). Proceed straight ahead to the 5th traffic light at the square in Manchester and make a right turn onto Maple Street (HWY 921), go one block and make a left onto High Street.  Travel approximately 1/2 mile to the high school

I will send out information on Spring Grove next week and do not forget the information on invitationals is posted at the pool. If you have questions about the invitationals, see Coach Drew.
 

May 24th, 2010

Welcome to SMSC summer season 2010.  We are looking forward to an enjoyable and successful season.

By virtue of our divisional title last summer, SMSC has moved up to the AAA division for this season.  We will be competing against some bigger teams and it should provide for some exciting meets this season.  The meet schedule for the season is attached to this email for your reference.  We have 5 dual meets this season along with 2 invitationals that we are participating in as well as championship meets.(Divsionals/All Stars/Mid Caps).  Swimmers must participate in at least 3 of the 5 dual meets to be eligible for divisionals and must qualify on time for All Stars and MidCaps.  I will be sending out additional information on all meets as they approach to include warm up times and directions.

The 2 invitationals are the WSY Cuda Classic at CV and Carlisle Swim Club at CSC.  Entries are due to me by 6-17 for WSY and 6-24 for Carlisle.  Information including fees will be posted at the pool this week.

We will be having our first parents' association meeting of the season on Wed June 2nd at 6 PM in  a classroom near the pool.  We would appreciate as many of you attending as possible.   We will be discussing concessions for home meets, meet volunteers, fundraising, team party, team/coaches gifts, and most importantly(at least to me) officer elections for next year.   The coaches will also come to address the parents as well.

The involvement of the parents is a big contributor to the success of SMSC and we look forward to seeing many new parents helping out this season.
