April 2008

Dear Parents and Students:

Athletics at Georgetown Day School are an integral part of the educational experience.  All students are encouraged to participate in the athletic program.  We take great pride in our athletic accomplishments to date and look forward to greater achievements.

The Independent School league (ISL) and the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAC) both place the highest emphasis on sportsmanship and have adopted a sportsmanship code of conduct.

The ISL & MAC embrace a common core of values and cooperate in a collective attempt to achieve them.  We emphasize the value of respect for self and others.  We realize that an athletic contest is only a game.  We expect only positive encouragement from all participants and spectators.  ISL & MAC members are gracious in victory as well as defeat.

Pre-season practices begin for all teams on August 18, 2008.  To help you plan your summer, a TENTATIVE pre-season practice schedule is enclosed.  Because scrimmages begin before the opening of school, students are encouraged to attend all pre-season practices.  Students who are unable to be a part of pre-season activity should contact the Athletic Director as soon as possible.

Novice crew practice will begin on September 15, 2008 and run through October 9, 2008.

Please note that all student athletes must submit all health forms to Veronica Ampey, Certified Athletic Trainer.  No one will be permitted to begin practice or play without having all forms on file by August 1, 2008.

If you need any further information please feel free to contact me at 202-274-3226.  I hope you have a restful summer, and I look forward to the start of the fall season.

Sincerely,

Kathy Hudson
Athletic Director
