Opening Ceremonies Friday, March 21

Coaches Please contact your students and make arrangements to meet. Review their regional event…what did they not know, what do they need more work on? Streamline their notes, etc. If your team has a new partner, give him/her a copy of the materials, rules and ONE assignment. Find one part of the event that needs a bit more research. The substitute should not be expected to memorize everything. Give them tasks that will benefit both members of the team! Email me any practice/coaching sessions you schedule. I will put them on the wiki
