Need to work on a storage solution, there is conex box storage on field but not convenient, would be nice to store by field but storage is being used by track. Possibly get 2 conex storage for under bleachers and share with track switching equipment from garage to container for each sports season.
Next year would like 1 weightlifting class for freshman, jv and varsity possibly moving practice from 6-8 am, admin is working on it.
Coach Ditmore asks boosters how coaches can help. Boosters reply to communicate, possibly make a video update for parents. Need to focus on retention of players and make things even for example jv not having Sat. practice. Give JV a vision of the “why” to this year and where they are going. Head coach at some jv games.
