FALL SPORT SIGN UP FORM
All athletes must have the physical, code of conduct and concussion forms on file to participate. All these forms can be found on the JRG website using this link. We do not require the physical form for tennis. All athletes and parents/guardians must read the Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Concussion/Head Injury Information Sheets and Code of Conduct information.
After reading the information you will need to sign the JRG Athletic Agreement Card.
BASKETBALL
New for 2024 Season
CROSS COUNTRY
Practice runs Monday through Friday from 3:10 PM to 4:15 PM
starting Tuesday, September 3, 2024
TENNIS
As the Fall season approaches, we're excited to kick off our first practice on September 3rd right after school! We’ll gather on the Tennis courts, weather permitting; otherwise, we'll meet in Room 215. Please bring your racket so we can get some playtime in after a brief organizational meeting. Our practice will conclude at 4:00 PM on this initial day.
Attached to this email is our practice schedule. Starting September 3rd and running through October 10th, practices will be held daily from 3:05 to 4:15 PM. Fridays will offer optional practices where you can either engage in friendly matches with teammates or join a group activity led by me. Please note there will be no practice on September 18th due to the Run for Rocks and on September 27th due to the half school day.
Occasionally, the high school tennis team might use our courts, in which case practice will end at 4:00 PM. I will inform you promptly if this happens. For safety reasons, we won’t practice in the rain or on wet courts. If a cancellation occurs, I'll make an announcement at the end of the school day and, if possible, send an email in advance. If it’s beneficial, we may also watch tennis videos in my room as an alternative to canceling practice entirely; this would also end at 4:00 PM.
Remember to wear tennis shoes, apply sunscreen, and bring a water bottle to each practice. If you don’t have a racket, I have a few extras available for borrowing.
Enjoy your last week of summer vacation, and I’m looking forward to seeing you on September 3rd!
