TRAVEL MEET TO LAS VEGAS

Our team will have our FIRST ever travel meet for the TRA Invite in Las Vegas on January 21st and 22nd. The meet will be held at Buchanan Natatorium located on the University of Northern Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. Families will be responsible for their own transportation and lodging, but we're hoping to get the team together for an extracurricular activity that weekend. Contact Coach Kevin if you have any suggestions. Meet information can be found on the team website:

HANDBOOK REVIEW - Account Hold Option

"The team offers an Account Hold Fee for families who need to take off a month for vacations, high school sports, summer swim teams, etc. Families will pay $40/month in lieu of the original monthly dues and is added to your monthly invoice. This option is available for 3 months during the Short Course season. A parent needs to inform their team’s coach, by email, prior to the start of the month for this option, otherwise the swimmer will be charged that month’s payment. Any swimmer charged the Account Hold Fee may swim one week's worth of practice for that month (2 days for Junior Team and FORM 2 or 3 days for Senior Team and FORM 3 Team)."

MAAPP REVIEW - One-on-one Interactions

Observable and Interruptible

"All one-on-one In-Program Contact interactions between a Minor Athlete and an Adult Participant must occur at an observable and interruptible distance from another adult, except:

a. In emergency circumstances;

b. When a Dual Relationship exists; and/or

c. When the Close-In-Age Exception applies."
