News for the Week of 11/15

Program notes for the week of 11/15:


The No-Contact Period:

Every year there are are questions surrounding the no-contact period as to what it is and what it means.  See the official definition from the OHSAA website:

8.1) Any coach, paid or volunteer, shall be approved by the Board of Education to coach football, soccer, field hockey, volleyball, basketball, or ice hockey and is prohibited from athletic or athletic-related contact with squad members (i.e., physical fitness, weight training, open gym, etc.) in the same sport for the period of time starting with the first day after the school’s last interscholastic contest and ending 28 days later. This includes any type of tryouts in or out of school for purposes of non-interscholastic competition. It also includes verbal contact which encourages, discusses or promotes any activity related to the sports
named above.

The summary of this is that our coaches may not have contact with the girls for a 28 day period after the season ends regarding anything to do with soccer outside the normal awards process.  This year the no-contact period will last until Nov. 21st.  This is a reason why the coaches do not have their individual meetings with the girls right after the season ends.   I believe the coaches are going to schedule these meetings in Feb.  For parents, don't be concerned that your daughter has not received any contact from the coaches since the season ended.  By rule, they can't have any contact and they will be back in contact at the appropriate time.
 
 
End of Season Banquet:
The girls achieved the honor of having an end of season banquet this year.  Banquets are only scheduled for those teams which win Conference, District, Regional, or State crowns.  The girls won the SWC this year, so they earned the privelege of having an awards dinner.  This event will be held on Wednesday November 17th at the Fountaine Bleu in Avon Lake.  All parents received notice of date & time through the mail from the Athletic dept.   Once again, congrats to the girls and enjoy your dinner!!
 
Indoor Soccer:
Everyone watch their e-mails this week for information regarding Session II indoor soccer.
