Rampage NS 06 Parents,

Thanks to everyone who came to the parent meeting tonight. It was nice to meet everyone. I am looking forward to working with your girls and meeting your family this year.

For those of you who missed the meeting, my name is Kristy Boatright and I am going to be the team manager this year. My cell phone number is 801-430-1452. Please reach out to me if you have any questions, if you need to miss practice, or can't make it to a game.  I will keep Nic updated so he can plan meaningful practices for those who will be in attendance.

I also introduced something that I'd like to do this summer with the girls to get them in condition for playing on the big field.  I am calling this program the "Extra Mile" program. I would like each girl to discuss with their parent something that they can work on over the next 10 weeks.  I would like this to be a measurable and attainable goal.  Please fill out the information below and send it to me this week or send it with your daughter to practice.  This way we can see what your daughter is going to be working on this summer.

Parent’s Signature: __________

Besides setting a goal, I would like the girls to practice running a mile this summer.  For HOMEWORK I asked the girls to have a parent help them clock what a mile is around their neighborhood. I would like for each girl to be able to independently tell you that they are going to run a mile and be able to clock their time.

I am going to need weekly feedback from parents as to how the goals your daughter is working on is coming and how many extra miles they ran during the week.  Each week Nic, Mitch and I will discuss the progress the girls are making and recognize one girl that has REALLY been going the extra mile during the week. This girl will be rewarded for her efforts with a $5 prize. (Who knows... maybe they will take you out for ice-cream or a Slurpee for a change!) There are no rules that a girl cannot be awarded this more than one time. I am hopeful that this will encourage outdoor active time instead of indoor screen time as tends to happen during the summer and that you won't have to nag them to practice at home.  There are 10 weeks in the summer and 15 girls on the team. I'm hoping a little internal competition like this will be good for the team as the entire team benefits when individual girls practice and improve their skills.  

I will also have a few additional conditioning activities during the summer. These activities are not required. I know what it is like to taxi kids everywhere and another thing to do can cause stress. If they work with your schedule and your daughter can come then that is great. If not, don't stress.

Thanks for all you do as parents!  

Kristy
