Practices are from 4:15-5:45, starting the 9th. We will meet on the back side of the track by the Ski Room (PE storage room #4.)
**We have a limited number of skis/poles/boots for student check-out. If your skier needs to borrow from Mears, we will be checking them out during the first two days of practice.
**If students have their own skis, they may store them at school in our ski room. On meet days and Kincaid practice days, students are responsible for their own skis (owned or borrowed) and getting them back to school.
