Hello, Sharks and families,
Our first practice is just a few hours away, and I wanted to send you a quick note about practice.
Where possible please look to:
1. Ensure your Athlete has a full bottle of water for practice, they are going to want it.
2. Please check your athlete's gear before you leave the house to ensure they have everything.
3. I would ask, when possible, to have your athlete completely ready, aside from head and hand gear, 15 minutes before our ice time. This will give the coaching staff time to go over the drills in the room instead of using ice time to cover drills.
4. I would ask for, at most, 10 minutes after practices and games to talk with the team. Once we have finished, we will open the door to the room and you will be able to help your athletes get their gear off.
5. Please ensure your athlete has all their under-hockey clothing on when they arrive at the rink.
Looking forward to our first two days as we all get to know each other a little better.
Thanks,
Coach Zappia
