Girls and Parents: 2021 Summer Running & Season Update

1. Summer Running with the team is recommened. It is nice to run with others when possible.

Starts June 16th. M-F at 8am-9:30am to be safe for rides. Meet near the East entry to the high school. Please bring a water bottle. The first practice on Monday, June 14th will be at Sand Point Beach for Volleyball. Watch for social media posts. A captain will be present every day. A coach will be present MWF. The girls use GroupMe to communicate. Please send the cell numbers you want added, to Coach Saad at 612-518-7818. Coaches also post at Prior Lake Girls Cross Country on Facebook. 

2.Fall season: Official practice starts August 16th. Fall registration should open in July. Sports physicals are required every 3 years. Here is the link to the form. Get this scheduled and done in July if possible as appointments may be hard to come by. The link to the sports physical form is below.

3. See the link below for the information given out at the pre-season meeting.  The June and July running calendars will be updated as well. 

I am recommending all girls get there iron levels checked. The handout has the normal ranges for the three components of iron. I hear Park Nicolett in PL will do the recommended iron test.

Thanks,

Coach Saad
