Practices and other important dates

Physicals due prior to the first Clinic date. Athletics keeps a record. If a valid physical (does not expire before the last day of tryouts) is NOT on record with athletics, you may not participate in the clinic.
Practice times for JV and Varsity are yet to be determined. Generally, they are 3-5:30 on non game days.
There will be a summer skills camp for those making the team. It is likely to be 3 days in the last 2 weeks of July. Time and dates are to be set.
PNHS Cheerleaders condition during the summer. This conditioning is vital. It helps to prevent injury. If you are in summer school, a summer conditioning schedule will be given to you and you are expected to complete the conditioning on your own time. All cheerleaders will go to conditioning. If there is a problem with morning conditioning due to SUMMER SCHOOL ONLY, you may attend the JV conditioning session. Work is not excused for summer conditioning.
