Remember

I have to say that I was very disappointed at how many members of our team chose to leave before the meet was over. You are not allowed to leave before all the fencing is done and everything is cleaned up. How would it look for a member of the basketball team or soccer team to decide that they were done and left. We are a team, even if you didn't fence it is your responsibility to stay and cheer on your team, not just your squad. I am sorry that we don't have enough space for everyone to fence at once, but you can not leave early. There are only 3 spots on the starting team, these spots are determined by your results in the team meets and in the individual meets. After this Saturday we will have a very clear picture of who is starting. Positions can change after every meet. If you are a first year fencer, you might not start, but that does not give you the right to leave, you still need to suit up and be ready in case the situation changes and you get to fence. It is also important to watch and learn. If you choose to leave early, it is the same as missing a meet and you will not letter or possibly start or fence at the next meet.

On Friday at 6 we have dinner and set-up for our meet on Saturday. You are expected to be there, if you are not, you have chosen not to letter.

We have a meet all day on Saturday, you are expected to be there 30 minutes before your start time, bring $10 to pay for your entry fee and stay until everything is cleaned up or you have chosen not to letter.
