Reminder Email

The following email was just sent to all athletes that signed up for boys basketball for the 2014-15 season:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Thank you for attending a meeting last week.  I wanted to put some of the information we talked about in an email so there was no forgetting what is going on.

We as a coaching staff are working hard to ensure that you have the opportunity for success now and into the future.  I promise no one is outworking what we are doing to help you all.  We want success on the court, in the classroom, and when you leave High School.

THINGS TO TURN IN:

You will be unable to participate until the following items are in.  This could impact the team you are placed on due to missing try outs.

-Make sure you have all of your forms/information in ASAP.  The following items are needed to be in before you can participate: State Form, Current Physical, School Athletic Fees.  If you have any questions on those three, please see the office.

-Also, you need to make sure you have an email or note to me that your parents/guardians and you understand the rules/goals/opening letter for this year.  Please get the Opening Year Letter email/note to me ASAP.

-IF you are a 7th or 8th grader interested in participating in the optional c-squad opportunity; make sure you also turn in your Move Up Sheet to me ASAP.  If this does not involve you, disregard this.

IMPORTANT DATES:

November 10th: 

First day of practice.  This starts at 6AM at the High School Gym.  We will be doing tryouts the first few days in the morning and after school.  We also continue this after school (starting at 3PM) until 6PM.  This is for all Freshman-Seniors as well as any 7th/8th graders wanting to participate in the optional C-Squad opportunity. 

The opening meal is also on Nov. 10th.  This starts at 630PM and is FOR ALL ATHLETES/FAMILIES PLANNING ON PLAYING BASKETBALL THIS YEAR.

Please follow the calendar online (www.pinecityboysbasketball.blogspot.com) for up to date information. 

Everything Else:

As always, make sure you are taking care of your studies.  This will be an crucial part of your basketball careers at Pine City High School.

Any/all communication should come to your coaches first.  We want to help solve any issues/problems that may arise during the season, please give us the first shot to do this.  We have an open door policy.

Playing time is earned not given.  It is fair (everyone has the same fair opportunities to get better) but not equal (athletes will not play equal amounts in games).  All athletes will play in sub-varsity games, although not equal.

I am extremely looking forward to this season, the positive things that will come our way, and the challenges that we will inevitably face together.  

Please email, call, or come talk to me about any questions.

-Coach Allen
