After a couple weeks of excellent practices we plug along as the high school season approaches.
Roster Call, CyFair Spring Tourney
February 6 is the deadline for athletes to register their intentions to play at the CyFair Spring Shootout in Houston, February 12-13. We have some already signed up but need more. Age groups 12u mixed, 14u mixed, 18u boys/mixed, 18u girls. The best way to share your intentions is via TeamUnify, or email me.
AQTX Hosting Events
Planning is going forward for a few items I mentioned in the last update. They have been approved by AquaTex but, given the pandemic, we are always prepared for things to change.
- Friday/Saturday March 5-6 for the AquaTex West Region High School Tournament
- Sunday, March 7 for a local 14u game day (Zilla, Aqua Swift, etc.)
- Tentative ODP clinic, Sunday, February 28 (girls only)
Training Update
There’s a swim meet this weekend at Micki so no Youth practice or Masters training on Saturday or Sunday. We will add a Youth practice for Thursday, February 4, 7:00 to 9:00 PM. There will be no Chalk Talk on Thursday, February 4.
Annual Micki Repairs
The time is near. Yes, we’ll be evacuating to Lake Creek Pool beginning on or around Monday, March 15. The City of Round Rock closes Micki Krebsbach for four weeks (more or less) every year to do maintenance. Last year they poured the new concrete pad where we keep the cages. This year we’re hoping they deepen and extend the pool another 20 yards. We’ll see…
Zilla Scrimmage
The next Zilla scrimmage at Milburn is on the calendar for Saturday, February 12. Same agenda as usual.
Programming and News
We’re working on a new program for athletes age 5-12 that will better leverage the highly-regarded swim training that AquaTex professionals provide. There will also be some additional changes to our Masters offerings. Plus, another coach! Stay tuned.
See you on the deck,
James
