Sports packets need to be turned in by Wenesday Jan 30. Please put them in my In Box in the school's main office. If you have completed a packet for another sport as SRHS then all you need do is to take care of the $50 fee. This must be done before you can participante in practice beginning Monday Feb 4. Attached is a letter from our athletic director regarding athletic packets. Spring Sport Coach I need athletic packets by next Wednesday for kids to be ready to practice on Monday Feb 4th. Only those with completed athletic packets and cleared by me can practice…It’s going to take me a few days since I am processing all spring sports. Please help me get your student athletes ready to practice by getting the athletic packets completed, transportation fee receipt attached and turned in to me by Wednesday January 30….for the first practice date of spring season Monday Feb 4. I will work all weekend if necessary to process all the athletic packets I receive on next Wednesday…if they come after next Wednesday then I will get to them when I can.

Track practaice begins Monday Feb 4 at Nevers Field. In order to practice you will have to have completed and turned in an athletic packet for this current school year that began in August 2012. Athletic packets can be picked up in the main office. You need to turn them into me. My inbox is in the lower left corner in the main office as you go to your right. It is labled " Cross Country/Track and Field". There is also the $50 fee to be dealt with. That, too, needs to be taken care of before you can begin practice. Waivers are available in the business office. There is a Family maximum of $150 for an entire school year. Even if you have paid a $50 fee for a Fall and Winter sport you still need to pay the Spring fee unless you get a waiver or your family has reached the $150 minimum. If your family has reached the maximum you still need to get the waiver. I will need to see your waiver sheet before you can practice. If you are a new transfer student to Santa Rosa High you will need to see Mr. Neally to obtain a waiver to participate. Take care of the paper work now so you don't miss the early season practices. The meet schedule is attached.

Weight training going strong. Panther attending getting stronger. Track and Field weight and agility training happens every Tuesday and Thursday in the South Gym weight room right after school. Tuesday over 50 dedicated Panther athletes showed up and on Thursday we had a slight dip to 48 participants. Coach Josh takes EVERYONE through some rigorous and beneficial work. Even Coach Doug did his knee bends on surgically repaired knees and felt his muscles work for the first time in years. Gratifying. Get a super head start on our season and be at the weight room on Tuesday and Thursday. We have 201 students signed up for our team at this time. Seems like the Track and Field Team is the place to be. Track and Field is the one sport that has members from most of the other sports at our school.
