Hello Team !!
Hope everyone had a great summer, and you’re all off to a good start with school so far this year !
Lincoln Racquetball starts up on Sunday, October 10 at 5 pm at Multnomah Athletic Club, with our annual Parent and Player info night. We will have a 1-hour meeting with both parents and players, then players can go hit the ball around for an hour afterwards, and parents can stick around and watch or ask more questions of the coaches. The Oregon High School Racquetball program is unique to most other sports programs, and as such there is a lot of information for me to convey to parents and players.
Answers to some most frequently asked questions:
- When are practices? We practice at MAC Sundays 5-7 pm, Mondays 7-8:30 pm, Wednesdays 7-8:30 pm, starting October 10 (see attached for complete schedule)
- What if my student has another sport/activity that interferes with a practice day? Nearly all players have other sports/activities during racquetball season; if you have a weekly scheduled conflict, let coach Reid know, and we can work practices around that schedule. It’s important for players to be able to practice twice/week at least.
- What is cost of program? Cost is $140 for the season, includes league fees/uniform costs/State Championship entry fee (1st event) and end of year awards cost
- Is Parent Night mandatory for parents? All 1st year parents should attend, and highly recommended for 2nd year parents as well (it all starts sinking in by the 2nd year). 3rd & 4th year parents we’d love to have you, but your choice if you’d like to attend.
- Are we committing for the season if we attend Parent night? No, we use the first week as a trial week for the new players. They can practice, learn basics, and see if it’s right for them. We have a registration/signup night on Oct 17, at which we’ll need everyone’s registration forms and fees.
