Dear Student Athlete, Thank you for choosing to
Dear Student Athlete, Thank you for choosing to participate in the 2017 DRHS Swim and Dive program. This year represents a new beginning of vast change to the swim and dive program. We as the coaching staff are excited to have an opportunity to be part of your swim and/or dive career. It is important that you understand what your coaches expect of you as a member of this team. Please understand and abide by the following guidelines as you prepare yourself for this season: • • • • • • • • •
School is first. Attend all practices. Be on time. Listen to your coaches. Be positive and encourage each other during practice and meets. Keep personal socialization out of practice and meets. This means no gossip, discussing plans for evening, or weekend, CELLPHONE USE IS PROHIBITED, etc. Use every second in the pool as an opportunity to improve yourself. Develop at least one goal for this season – what do you want out of the 12 weeks we have together? Be accountable for your actions.
The equipment that you should have for day 1 of practice: •
Extra goggles, cap, swimsuit & pull buoy (fins optional)
You can swim with your club on weekday mornings; however, you must attend all afternoon and Saturday practices hosted by DRHS. THIS INCLUDES THE WEEK OF FALL BREAK. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you, The DRHS Swim and Dive Coaching Staff Coaches • • •

Pay $100 Athletic Fee by Friday August 26th • •
You can pay by cash or check to DRHS (Please include students name & id#) You can use the ECA tax credit program (cash or check with students name & id#) o Arizona residents have the opportunity to support our team with an Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) Donation. It’s as easy as donating up to $200 if you’re single and up to $400 if you’re married. This money acts as a tax credit if you owe any Arizona taxes (or predict that you will have an Arizona tax liability for the current year). o Example 1 ---Let’s say I’m single and only expect to owe $75 in AZ taxes for 2016 and I decide to donate $200. When I file taxes, I will receive a $125 tax return from the state of AZ. o Example 2 --- Let’s say you’re married and expect to owe $2,000 in AZ taxes. If my spouse & I decide to donate $400, then when I file my taxes I can use that $400 credit, thus reducing my tax liability to only $1,600.
o
Either way, it’s like giving “free money” to Desert Ridge Swimming. ECA money is used to pay for coaches, buses, meet entry fees, training equipment, and other team expenses. Your donations will help build a better program.
