On Monday, August 9, the athletic meeting for parents and sports physicals took place in the Kennel. Once again, our student-athletes filled the gym to get their FHSAA requirements met in a single night. Dr. Papa, owner of the Physical Therapy Institute of South Florida, provided a doctor from his practice to provide a tremendous service to our bulldog family. The night could not have gone as it did without the service of several people who donated their time. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Laurie Reese, Tammy Fernandez, Walter Smith, Mrs. Fyke, and Nurse Green for their contributions to the event. It is because of the people like those mentioned above that makes Berean Christian School so great. The night was one of my first opportunities to see the Bulldog family altogether. Based on what I saw, I am truly excited to be a bulldog. Just remember, let's keep Christ first and involved in every sports event that BCS participates in.
SECONDARY SPORTS
Fall sports are underway. Tuesday afternoon, Cheerleading, Football and Volleyball practices got into full swing. If you are still interested in participating in one of those sports, please make sure you speak with the coaches. The football and cheerleading teams will be practicing today (Wednesday) while volleyball tryouts will resume Thursday. The starting dates and times for the rest of the fall sports seasons are as follows.
First Practice ? Monday, August 16, 2010 at Okeeheelee Park. A bus will leave from campus after school and return just after 6:00 PM.
First Practice is Monday, August 16, 2010 at Seminole Palms Park. A bus will leave after school and return around 5:30.
As I mentioned in the meeting, we have moved to a digital schedule. Almost all the schedules for team sports have been posted for the fall and winter sports. Individual sports schedules will be posted after the district meetings, which will take place in just a week or two. Practice schedules for many of the sports have also been posted.
ELEMENTARY SPORTS
Information on our Intramural program for elementary students is available on the athletic website under the elementary athletics link. Registration for T-ball, Coach Pitch, and Kid Pitch sports is currently open. Please sign up as soon as possible so we can plan appropriately for the upcoming season. The first practice for those sports is scheduled for August 25, which is right around the corner. There are several opportunities for parents to volunteer and be a part of the program. If you are interested, please note that on your child's registration form.
BOOSTERS
Lastly, I hope to have the boosters webpage launched this weekend. You will be able to order your booster membership and streamline the process all from the web. Once you have registered, you can submit your payment and pick up your membership materials at all home games once they are ready. Additionally, lettermen's jackets are going on sale. Order forms will be available on-line or on the bulletin board outside the athletic office. You can drop those order forms and payment in the lock box outside the athletic office. The jackets start at $130. I have also ordered a dozen hooded sweatshirts, which will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. I will place additional orders as needed. They will cost $40. Again, order forms will be available on-line under the booster's link or your child can get an order form off the athletics bulletin board in the gym.
In Christ,
Keith Huisman
