2007 Springfield Swim Team

Attendance Information

Many of our meets over the past several years have come down to the

final races, which means that we need EVERYONE to attend the meets! 

Also, in an effort to increase team spirit, we need all of our

teammates cheering us on in order to do our very best! 

Therefore, last year’s attendance policy will again be enforced this season.

Children who participate in another sport that may conflict with

our meet schedule must speak to me before the season begins. 

I would never discourage a child from being involved in another activity, but it is important that they remember that they are a part

of this team, as well, and must contribute their fair share. 

**Children who are on another team

must attend 4 out of 8 of the regular season meets.**

*All other children, including those on the Developmental Team, must attend 6 out of the 8 regular season meets.*

I understand that some families may go on vacation, so if this falls

during the week of July 17^th (when we have 3 meets scheduled),

only then can swimmers participate in a minimum of 5 meets.

Children who do not compete in the appropriate number of meets

will not be invited to attend the Awards Ceremony

and will not receive a participation trophy. 

Also keep in mind…

according to the North Jersey Summer Swimming League rules,

swimmers must participate in at least 4 meets

in order to compete in the Divisional Championship Meet.

Swimmers are expected to attend all practices. 

There will not be a mandatory practice schedule,

but please talk to me if your child will be missing a

significant number of practices (for summer school, camp, etc.). 

I will try to be accommodating & perhaps can work around your schedule!
