    Spirit Night & State Meet

    February 24th

    .....and with the attachment... smiley  Happy Friday!

    Hello Stingrays,

    We are just 1 week away from our YMCA State Meet and less than 1 week away from Spirit Night!  Here is some helpful and important information:

    Spirit Night:

    This will be a FUN time to send our Stingrays off to States with LOTS-O-SPIRIT! We will provide pizza, popcorn and drinks, show some inspiring swim videos from the 2016 Summer Olympics, and hear Coach Mike’s words of wisdom and vision for States. Swimmers will provide the SPIRIT! If anyone decides to bring fruit or healthy snacks, we will not refuse your generosity. smiley

    Swimmers will be making posters with their age group to hang alongside our KVY Stingray banner at States. We will also have smaller posters with each swimmer’s name, so they can decorate and hang them as well. As in the past, swimmers are also welcome to bring a white T-Shirt and markers for teammate messages, signatures, doodles, etc. If you decide to bring some markers, all the better . . . They are a hot commodity at Spirit Night.

    Please make sure your swimmer wears their KVY Stingray team shirt to Spirit Night! If we remember to bring team shirts, we will take a team picture!

    Schedule for March 2nd:

    • 3:30-4:15 – Senior Group Practice (i.e., the group that usually practices at 3:30)
    • 4:15-4:45 – All Other Groups Practice (i.e., the groups that usually practice at either 5:00 or 5:45)
    • 5:00-6:30 – Spirit Night in the gym!
    • 6:30–7:00 – Help us clean up the gym

    State Meet:

    • Attached are the final entries that Coach Mike submitted to the Race Director. Please do your absolute best to support the team! If life gets in the way of our “best laid plans,” we completely understand . . . Do let Coach Mike ([email protected]) or us know ASAP if you cannot attend.    
    • We still need volunteers for various roles at: Sessions 1, 3, 4 & 6 . . . Please sign up on our website.

    Finally, although we have already spoken with many of you in person, PLEASE let us know ASAP if transportation becomes an issue for your swimmer. There are LOTS of vehicles heading to Orono and we would not want even one swimmer to miss States for lack of transportation.

    Thanks for ALL you do to support our Stingrays!
