Let the fun begin....official start to season 2016

Here we go…our season officially starts tomorrow!! We had a great time at camp with all of the girls (and certainly missed the few that couldn’t attend) and can’t wait to begin our season. We like to have a theme/motto each season to help set the tone for the girls and remind us all what our goals are and this year we are so excited to D16 DEEP within ourselves to be the best we can be! 

A few notes on our schedule and misc. info for the week to come….

Registration

You must be registered (athletic registration) before you will be allowed to practice. To complete this you must pay your $185 athletic registration fee to the school (online via RevTrak or in person to Mrs. Orvis) and then you must provide proof of payment and physical to Mrs. Orvis in the athletic office. She will then give you a white receipt which allows you to participate. If you do not have this receipt you MUST get it before coming to practice. Mrs. Orvis is in the office at BHS from 7:30am-3:30pm everyday. 

Practice Schedule

I will hand out a season calendar at the mandatory parent’s meeting on Thursday but until then here is our schedule for this week. 

Monday 8-10:15am

Tuesday/Wednesday 3:30-5:45pm

Thursday 3:30-5:30pm

Friday No Practice

Mandatory Parent’s Meeting

Broomfield athletics require all parents to attend the fall sports meeting on Thursday, August 18 at 6pm in the BHS auditorium. Our athletic director, Autumn Sereno, will discuss general athletic guidelines, academic eligibility, etc. We will then break out into individual sport meetings at which time I’ll discuss our team policies, expectations, schedule, etc. Please plan on your athlete and one parent attending the meeting. 

Communication

Please be sure to follow either of the two sites to ensure you are up to date on my communication. I try to update both on Sunday’s for the upcoming week. Please have your athlete follow as well to stay current.

STATE....One Heart One Team!

Wow!!! I can't truly express how proud I am of this team. As you can imagine it was an emotional week for all of us and to be able to come back and focus on the meet and perform as well as we did was outstanding. And the beauty is we still have room for improvement! :)

This is our last official week of the season and it will be busy. Please, please, please make sure your daughter is getting rest and keeping their normal schedule.

We are going to have "spirit week" at school this week to help draw attention to the girls for the state meet so please note the clothing schedule as well (competitors and non-comptitors please dress up)

Important Notes: Please know that non-competitors are invited and encouraged to spend the entire day with us on Friday but need to be excused from school by their parents. If girls can't afford to miss the entire day it's completely understandable and they can come to the meet as soon as school is over. 

Competitors will be excused from school for the entire day. 

The girls will get together before breakfast (I'll confirm location tomorrow) to do their hair before carpooling to breakfast. I'm looking for one additional volunteer to help carpool the girls to breakfast and you are welcome to join us at breakfast as well. Please email me directly if you're interested and can help. 

BHS will pay for the competitors breakfast; non-competitors need to bring money for breakfast.
From breakfast we will carpool across the way to Thornton HS. We are given entrance passes from CHSAA and I don't know how many we will be given until I arrive there on Friday. Because we have a larger team there is a chance that I will be short passes and non-competitors may have to pay to get in (this hasn't happened in many years but I'm cautious and like to be prepared). Please bring $12 for an all session student pass just in case.

On Monday morning CHSAA will have the seeding meeting and send out our competition order; I'll let the girls and you know as soon as I do. The state meet format will be warm up 2 events, compete 2 events.

Adult ticket prices are $15 for both Friday (team competition) & Saturday (event finals)
Seniors/Students are $12 for both sessions

Adult single day ticket is $8
Seniors/Students single day ticket is $5

SATURDAY
Event Finals - if we have girls that finish in the top-15 on any event on Friday they will compete in event finals on Saturday. (These results, along with the team results, will be announced Friday night)

Open Warm Up       2:00pm
March In                 3:55pm
Competition            4:00pm
Awards (approx.)    6:30pm

STATE MEET FORMAT
Team and all around results are determined during Friday's competition. The top-15 finishers on each event on Friday then qualify for the event finals on Saturday afternoon. If we have qualifiers for Saturday we will be there as a team to support and cheer them on.

The gym on Friday will be FULL so please plan on arriving early. We will do our best to save seats using the BHS banners. CHSAA doesn't love us saving seats so it's always best if some parents can arrive early to help save a parent's section. Don't forget to wear your blue and sit together!

We (coaches) will provide sandwiches for the girls at the meet but would like to ask for a volunteer that can pick them up for us. We are also asking the the competitors bring a snack to share with the team. It's an incredibly long day so having lots of food and water is critical. We've assigned the snacks below:

Coaches - Sandwiches (need a volunteer to PU)
Sarah -  Nutella
Heather - Veggie Dip
Kelsey - Crackers
Nicki - Small/Medium Cooler to store the food in
Peyton - Snack of choice
Heidi - Sliced Apples
Sam - Meat Tray
Madeline - Cheese slices (snack size)
Abby - Veggies
Abbi - Sliced Apples
Halle - Drinks


I know this was a LOT of information so please don't hesitate to write me with any additional questions.

This is a fun and exciting week and we alway appreciate your help and support. Please try and keep the girls rested, hydrated, well fed and as stress free as possible!

Hi All,

WOW! What an exciting and awesome league meet!! Both teams are Front Range League Champions and we set a new season high (and our highest team score since 2013) with a 187.2!

It should be an exciting couple of weeks as we compete at Regionals and State. 

Weekly Schedule

Regionals at Mountain Range HS - We ended up being the #2 seed for regionals (this is based on the average of our top-3 team scores from the year) and will be at the Mountain Range HS regional against #5 Mountain Range, #8 Ponderosa, #11 Lakewood, #14 Bear Creek, #17 Chatfield and #20 Loveland. There will also be four 4A schools competing against each other in the 4A division. 

In order to qualify for state one of two things must happen: #1 - we finished in the top-2 at our regional meet (our goal) and automatically qualify or #2- if we finish out of the top-2 than we must have one the next highest 6 teams scores from any region to qualify. As you can see, if we don’t do well at Regionals than we don’t qualify for State so it’s a very important meet for us.

Snacks - Peyton

Drinks - Abby Holbrook 

Weekly Schedule

What a great TEAM win on Saturday at the Cherry Creek Invite. Every tenth counts and that was certainly the case as we squeaked it out by only a .5!! A fun and exciting week that will conclude at the Front Range League Championship meet on Wednesday and is sadly the last official week of the season for some of our teammates. I'll notify those that we would like to stay on for the Regional and League meet at the end of the week. Looking forward to another great week!

Friday
The girls have asked that we attend a haunted house as a team (as we've done in year's past). This is by no means mandatory but a fun event that both Allie and I will be attending.

We will be going to Haunted Field of Screams in Thornton (104th & Riverdale) and will carpool together. Tickets are $24pp.

 The plan will be to meet somewhere in Broomfield (possibly PDRC or a quick serve dinner restaurant) at 7pm and head down. Hopefully by going early we can avoid a really long line and be back to Broomfield at a decent time. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Off Season Practice
I know many are curious about off-season practices and while I don't have them confirmed it's looking like we will do a short session in December at PDRC on Monday and Wednesday's from 3:30-6:00pm. They will continue in January and depending on participation we may try and add an additional third practice. I'll keep everyone posted.
