Summer Break Period for Student Athletes



Over the past few years all coaches at WHS have provided a "No Practice Week" for their respective teams. The problem we found was that each team took different weeks and families with multiple children participating in different sports were torn as to which dates to go on vacation or spend time with family.

Mr. Mayer and I both believe our coaches have done an excellent job in the past to provide sufficient time for our athletes to recharge. We, as a school community, have decided to provide a common two week recharging period for our coaches and student-athletes this coming summer.

Beginning on Monday, July 22, and ending on Sunday, August 4, our facilities will be closed to our coaches and athletes. Our teams will not compete in outside summer leagues or tournaments during this two week period.

WarriorNation is all about family and we know our student-athletes, families and coaches will all benefit greatly from this well-deserved time off. We believe this will be a model for schools around the county and state to follow.

We understand some of you might have already scheduled your summer plans and our coaches understand that the summer practices are not mandatory. Student-athletes are encouraged to attend as many practices, games and events as possible; however, the official start of Fall practice is Monday August 12th.

Moving forward, the Summer recharging dates will be published in advance to help with planning. It's our goal to release the summer of 2020 recharging dates in the Fall.
