Re: Summer Workouts 2014-2015


In order for your child to be able to participate in athletics at Pike next year, he/she must attend a minimum of 18 workouts this summer.  

The summer workout schedule is attached to this letter, so you may look at it.  

If your child attends a sports camp, play date, or anything else school related, that was approved by their coach or the athletic director, they will get these days counted as workout days.

Your child may also schedule make up workouts with their coach.  

It is the responsibility of the athlete to make sure that they have the minimum number of days to participate.

Please sign and return this letter so that we may know that you are aware of the requirements to participate.  Thank you and we are looking forward to a great year of Pike athletics.
