NHES PRACTICE DAYS



Dear NHES parents/guardians,

I apologize for this inconvenience; Friday practice is moving to Thursdays. We are still having practice today the 28th (please see the dates below).

NHES is short of volunteers this season and we were hoping more would pull-thru, but it is not turning out that way. We do not want to risk safety and to ensure this and the quality of the program, myself or Sam Brown must be there to lead. As we have 4 schools on Friday, this is near impossible unless we move it to THURS. Everywhere is well set and NH typically has been in the past, but this season we definitely are in need of more volunteers and trained coaches there. Moving to THURS will make it possible for us to fill this gap. Tuesdays are the same. It will still be the same time (following school - just now on Thursdays)....a flyer will be sent home at pick-up today as well!!

Sorry for this inconvenience, but safety has to come first, so we can have fun and be effective!

Fri Sept 28th
Tues Oct 2
Thur Oct 4

Thur Oct 11
Tues Oct 16

We are still accepting volunteer coaches or parent volunteers. Kitty Hawk is leading the way again this year for the most participants and we would love to have an empowered and enriching Head Coach to help at this supportive and spirited school. Nags Head Elementary is not far behind with the number of participants and is also in need of a Head Coach to help them GO FAR!!
