Practice Week of 1/27/2014

First of all, good job everyone at Sassi yesterday. We are very proud of the team and how well you represented Falmouth yesterday. You showed great sportsmanship and enthusiasm for the sport and your team mates and skiers from around the state... that’s what it’s all about ;)

That said, this past week was difficult for all of us with our attendance due to midterms. We expect more of you this coming week and hope to see more dedication to the team and practices as we get ready for our race at Libby Hill on Weds. If you know you are going to miss a practice, due to a doctor’s appointment, etc. please ALWAYS email the coaches ahead of time. You may tell us in practice, but we also require that you email it to us so that we have it on record. A reminder, you HAVE to email us each time you miss practice, whether it is ahead of time, or even after you’ve missed a practice. We are getting our line up ready for states and attendance is a huge part of who we pick to represent us on the varsity team, it is not only based on performance.
