FOOTBALL PRACTICE FIELDS AND TIMES

This year the SCC established August 3rd, 2009 as the first day practice is allowed.   The first week of practice is conditioning.  No pads are allowed; however, your coach may ask that each player bring their helmet.  Beginning on August 10th, 2009, full contact practice will begin.  Each player must have 10 hours of conditioning before they may wear pads.  If your son or daughter misses a day of conditioning, they need to make that up before they may participate in full contact.  This is a safety issue, so please be cooperative with your respective head coach.
In 2009, our practice field space for the August time frame will again be challenging but workable.  PV High School has increased their field space by converting a portion of the basketball courts into a grassy area for practice.  We will be utilizing multiple sites around the Penninsula, which will communicated to you by your Head Coach or General Manager.

Beginning on September 8th, 2009, practice time is reduced to three days for tackle and 2 days for flag. It is up to the discretion of each Head Coach to establish the times for practice for their teams within the guidelines for the facilities that we are using. 

It is important to note that our facilities have strict guidelines for our use of those facilities and your cooperation in following those rules will insure we are allowed to continue to use those facilities.  These guidelines may include start and stop times, parking restrictions, and always insuring that our trash is picked up and put in the proper receptacles. 

General Procedures for Utilizing Our Local Fields

By order of the Superintendent of Schools, due to pressure from PVHS Neighbors, the entry gate to the PVHS field from Epping Road (south side of school) will be closed from now on.  So, for Equipment Distribution, as well as for our games at PVHS, visitors must park in the school lots, accessed from Cloyden Road (north side of the school).  From the parking lots, visitors can walk down the one-way road to the baseball field and then walk between the baseball field and the tennis courts (third-base line) over to the football field.  Visitors can also drop off kids (or park if there is room) at the baseball field and then drive around the block and park in the school lot. 

The football practice sites also have certain site specific guidelines that we must adhere to. Please understand, our adherence to these guidelines helps insure that we will be able to continue to use these facilities.  Your cooperation and support are greatly appreciated.

CHEER PRACTICE FIELDS AND TIMES

This year the SCC established August 3rd, 2009, as the first day practice is allowed.  In 2009,  we will continue our focus on improving the cheer program by implementing changes where they are needed.  In line with your comments, we have elected to do the following:

As August approaches, the scenario for drop-off and pick-up for the girls will be sent via email to all parents. Please consult your GM or Head Cheer Coach for more specific details regarding practices.  Parents who wish to observe practice will have the opportunity to do so from the spectator area that will be identified.  At no time are parents allowed on the practice field.
