For now, mid week practice is over due to the time change coming up Sunday Nov. 1, 2009. Practice will be Saturday's beginning at 9 and ending at 11. Do not wait until 11 to show up, be there before that time.

Yesterday, I discussed the aspects of mental training to take your scores to the next level and keep them there. For those of you who missed it, I'll be glad to share this information with you at your next practice session.

I am looking at a few shoots for us to attend as a team during the fall and winter months. Whenever these are decided on, I will post them here and have Mr. Reagan send a text message out to all team members.

Now is the time of year to work on getting the fundamentals in trap shooting down pat. We will clean up little and large problems so that come next spring, they won't stand in your way of shooting your best!

We have our most important fund raiser of the year coming up in Nov. It will be Saturday, Nov. 21st. Try to plan around this date so that you can be available to help out. More to come on this later...

What a great shoot we had last Saturday at Big Springs! In tough conditions our team managed to win two trophies! The first squad won by one target! Never take a target for granted, never give up if you've missed a few. One never knows when a single target is the margin between first and second place!

Our JV squad placed third their first time shooting together for the high school! Great job! I've implemented a few changes in your shooting and you've all adapted well! Things will continue to improve for you if you stay the course that Coach Craig and I have laid out for you.

Our second V squad didn't fare so well. Lot's of work to be done there. Remember, during the fall and very early spring, you are shooting for position on a competition squad at practice and competition. These squads will change slightly at every shoot.

Get your targets in and strive for excellence every time you take the line.

I'll see you at practice!

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:                 

All Trap team members are required to provide a copy of their Progress Reports and Report Cards to Coach Craig Hafer within three (3) days after they have been received.  IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH INDIVIDUAL TEAM MEMBER TO PROVIDE COACH HAFER WITH A COPY OF HIS/HER GRADES!!!!  This is for each and every grading period.  If a team member fails to turn in a progress report or report card, that member will not be allowed to practice or participate in competitions until the progress report or report card has been turned in.

                                                

The grading policy is as follows; Team members are required to maintain an overall average of 75 or better for all of their classes.  Penalties for dropping below 75 in your overall average are as follows:

1st offense - banned from competition until the next grading period         

2nd offense - banned from competition and practice until the next grading period         

3rd offense - REMOVAL FROM THE TRAP TEAM!

                     

If during the next grading period the team member has raised his/her grade above the required 75, he/she will be fully reinstated with the team and may once again fully participate in competitions and practices.

If a shooter practices any other time at Highland Rim Shooters Club or P & T Shooting, the shooter is responsible for paying H.R.S.C. or P & T Shooting for their targets.  Clay Pay is only used for official team practices.  An official practice is a practice that is announced, scheduled or planned in advance by me and conducted by Craig Hafer or myself.                        

Thank you for your cooperation, 

Coach Loveless
