Week in Review

 We dove into the 2020 season a week ago!

Each week the coaches select Athletes of the Week (AOWs). They are chosen for a variety of reasons and announced at a team meeting during the week. 

 Here are our Week 1 AOWs! (socially distanced) 

Marley V., Isabel H., Vicky C.

Olivia D., Aislinn V., Natalie F.

Make sure you have your clothing orders placed! They are due TODAY, Monday, Aug. 24th at 11:59pm!

Great job last week Rockets! See you Monday!

August Practice Schedule

 Our practice schedule for the week of Aug. 17th-22nd:

• Swimmers will practice 8-11am - will be divided into two pods/groups that will rotate between the pool and dryland/weight room during that time. Tennis shoes and workout clothes needed everyday!
• Divers will practice 11-12:30 - communication will come from Coach Foulks to divers/their families on any changes to the schedule.
• No practices on Sunday
• Practices on Aug. 24, 28, 29 will follow the same schedule as the week of Aug. 17th.
• Practices on Aug. 25-27 - more info to come - those are teacher inservice days and we are waiting to hear what our schedules will be for those days. Most likely practices will be 3:30-5:30pm, same schedule as school days.

See you in a week!

It was great to be back in the pool together last week for contact days! No contact the week of Aug. 10th, but we know that you'll be getting ready for the season.

The first day of the season is Monday, Aug. 17th! Practice at 8-11am for swimmers and TBA for divers!

Updates and Apparel Store

The volunteer training sessions will begin on Monday, Aug. 3rd, as some details are still being worked out.

• I will be sending out a Google form link on Friday afternoon, asking if you would like to attend the sessions and the times offered
• The google form information will be reviewed and those attending will be placed in training groups (pods)
• I will notify athletes of their training group time by Sunday afternoon
• For your planning purposes - the last volunteer training session will be Aug. 7th (WIAA decision)

2020 Girls Season

Starts in 1 month on August 11th!

At this time we are still scheduled to start on August 11th.  We plan to swim 8-11am in August, but that may vary depending on how many girls can be in the pool at a time.  We will know more as the starting date approaches and will keep you posted!

I just read an article in the Post Crescent where TJ Watt, who plays in the NFL and grew up in Wisconsin, was encouraging Wisconsin's high school student-athletes to "Stay ready, so you don't have to get ready."

Here are some videos of dryland activities that can help get ready for the season. 

Bodyweight Workout with Leah Smith 

Core Exercises with Dara Torres.

Also, just a reminder to get your athletic paperwork turned in prior to the start of the season. Listed below are ways to get your paperwork to the NHS Athletic office.

Physicals must be dated after April 1, 2019. If  your child needs a physical, we will need a hard copy of the completed physical form in the Athletic office.  With Covid 19 procedure the building is closed, so there are three ways to get it to the Athletic Office :

1. Either scan it and send it to:  ldohr@neenah.k12.wi.us 

2. Mail it to: 

    Lisa Dohr

    1275 Tullar Road

   Neenah Wisconsin 54956.  

3. Drop it off in the drop box located outside of door 11 ( across from the tennis courts). Label the form titled "Clearance" .

Please make sure that it is totally filled out with:  students name, date of birth, age, sex, etc.  and make sure it is dated and signed by your Doctor.

Looking forward to the 2020 season!  Go Rockets!

Happy 4th of July

Thinking of you during this holiday weekend! Hoping everyone is staying safe and enjoying the summer!
