Tournament Availability Form

I just posted a document called preseasonreg.doc to the Drop site. If you do not have a password, please contact a coach.

This form indicates which tournaments you plan on attending. You may change your registration between now and the deadline I give you on the tournament registration list, usually abut 10 days before the tournament. Use this to indicate those tournaments which you now know you cannot attend for any reason.

Practice Attendance

It is important that debaters consistently attend practice. We have unique material to cover every day and missing practice makes it difficult to keep track of who is missing what information. Starting next Thursday, September 4, practices are regularly scheduled on Mondays and Thursdays. The schedule is consistent from week to week to allow planning for other events and activities, but attending practice needs to be a priority.

If a student needs to miss practice, the student should contact their coach prior to the missed practice (or as soon as possible after).

We require consistent attendance to ensure that foundational information is taught and to practice skills that require repetition for success. Just like athletes train to become better at their sport, debaters need consistent practice to improve.

Thank you for your cooperation in this.
