JH Stingrays Fall Registration - Opens Saturday, August 17 at 8:00 a.m. MT

Welcome to the JH Stingrays!!  

This year we have upgraded our registration! We will be doing all registrations online! This includes all meets and functions throughout the year. Please read through this post for important information. 

Registration will be live for all new families on Saturday, August 17 at 8:00 a.m. MT.  A registration link will be posted on the home page as well as under the Registration tab at that time. 

Do not send any paperwork or money to the 'black box' at the pool - your registration will not become active this way anymore. Please do not save your place in line with an email, as was done in the past. The registrations will be first come, and also allow for a wait list. 

Competitive Group:  All Swimmers that had been invited to be a part of the Competitive Swim Group this past Spring may register in the same group for Competitive Session 1, Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. Please note this Session will go until Winter State. Times for practice will change to an earlier time after JHHS Swimming's season is complete.  This Session will begin Wednesday Sept 4, and practice will be M, W, F (Beginner/Intermediate) and M, T, W, Th, F (Advanced).  We are not allowing any new swimmers to join this group. A swimmer may be invited by Coach Cindy to become Competitive after the swimmer has completed the first Session of Pre-Competitive. Session 2 will begin just after Winter State and go to Summer State, with times again changing in the summer to early mornings.

Pre-Competitive and New Swimmers:  Practice will be held on Tuesday and Thursday.  There is a mandatory swim test and parent meeting for all new swimmers to the program on Thursday Sept 5 @ 6 pm at the Rec Center. The swim test will be for lane placement, not to see how well swimmers swim. Lane placement will depend on ability and endurance. The swim test will be at the lap pool. Please report to Coach Cindy at the starter end, near the Lifeguard's room. Bring a water bottle, wear swim goggles, and long hair must be tied back, or in a swim cap. Sign in at the front desk on the 'Stingray's' sheet. Parents will attend a mandatory meeting on the outdoor patio area of the Rec Center at 6 pm. You must have all registration completed online in order to participate. Space is very limited. You will be expected to complete the Session all the way to the end, and to have your child participate in the swim meet, if only for one event, or to cheer on their teammates.  Session 2 and 3 dates are on the blog site for your future planning, but cannot be registered until the week prior to start. Please know that failure to complete the session will jeopardize your swimmer's chance to gain access to future Sessions. 

For returning swimmers in the Pre-Competitive program, there is no Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced anymore. This session will also include your entry to Fall in the Hole swim meet. This Session is to learn teamwork, refine your strokes, and prepare for the Fall in the Hole Swim Meet. Please complete all registrations online and be ready for the first day of practice on Tuesday, September 10. Remember to bring your water bottles!

For more information on the expectations for the Competitive and Pre-Competitive Practice Groups, please visit the 2019-2020 Practice Groups tab on this blog.

ALL FAMILIES / Old Bill's: This year we are including the cost of your past 'Old Bill's donations' to the club in this year's membership dues. We still encourage you to donate to Old Bill's on behalf of the JH Stingrays. We also encourage you to ask your friends, family and businesses to donate on behalf of the Stingrays.

USA Registrations:  You will pay this fee online with your registration. Please choose the 'Year round' for all competitive swimmers. Those new to the program may choose 'Flex' and upgrade later. Only choose 'Outreach' if you qualify for TCSD free/reduced school lunch.

The registration site will save all your information for future functions. If you have an 'Active' account already for another sport, the system will recognize you by your email, and pre-populate your information. If you are having any difficulty with registering, please email JHStingrayboard@gmail.com.  

There are programs available to assist with costs. One 22 and Boundless are available to those that qualify. Email the board for more details.

Thank you! Good Luck this Season and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Stingrays!!
