Coach Email #2 Recruiting April 11

Post date: Apr 19, 2013 7:18:7 PM

Dear parents,

I wanted to catch up with you on two timely issues.

First, and most pressing, is recruiting new talent. I want to get new athletes to next week’s swimmer and diving 7 a.m. meetings (Tuesday guys and Thursday girls) and I really want them to also attend our 6 p.m. May 13 summer kick off banquet. I worry that athletes who are considering swimming will not attend our summer kick off (where I really want to hook them and persuade them to join) if they don’t make the meeting. Please encourage your swimmer and divers to talk, facebook, tweet, text or IM potential athletes.

Please have them double that same effort to IM, text, tweet, facebook or talk with our incomming freshman, especially our Pleasant Lea Middle School 8th guys whom I will talk with on this Tuesday, April 16 and girls whom I will see at Pleasant Lea on Tuesday, April 30. To the guys meeting, I am bringing a Zach Knoche, Zach Turner duo to be approachable and impressive. To the guys meeting, I am bringing Sarah Burnett, Georgia Gettys and Sidney Drew.

Second, I am going to slightly modify our summer practice calendar. We will not have any practices for the week of 4th of July (Monday, July 1st through Friday, July 5th). This opens up three more dates for us to practice in June: Monday, June 10th through Wedneday, June 12th. The quick version is June 10th through July 19th with the no practices the July 4th weekend.

I look forward to seeing you all at our May 13 summer kick off (more details to come by end of this month). Please continue to build positive energy and enthusiasm for our Tiger athletes!

Coach David
