If your child needs to miss a meet please fill out a missing a meet form (also found in the filebox at the front desk). Put that form in head coach Jeff Faikish's file by 11am on the meet day. It takes the coaches hours to make up a meet line-up so please be respectful and let us know about missing a meet as soon as possible.
