Fwd: Steps Must be Taken to End Acts of Hazing in High School Sports and Other Activities

---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: NFHS, National Federation of State High School Associations <info@nfhs.delsend.com>

The NFHS Voice Steps Must be Taken to End Acts of Hazing in High School Sports and Other Activities It is regrettable that, for the second straight year as high school sports have commenced, several horrific acts of hazing have occurred. In the month of August alone this year, we are aware of five highly publicized incidents across the country – one of which forced cancellation of a school's entire football season. In addition to the extreme case of cancelling an entire season, one of the other cases last month involved a hospitalization and 21 players being suspended, while another suspended its football season during an investigation. Unfortunately, incidents that have occurred the past two years are nothing new. It seems that dozens of acts similar to these are reported every year. Some of these acts may seem minor in nature, but many result in criminal charges being filed. No matter the severity, the "Why" question remains. Read the NFHS Voice share this email

Let's re-build the Saturday Swim School -- and a Friday night band at the country club pool

Hi Friends and Neighbors, 

This summer, my days at the swim pool were spent coaching and managing at the Montour Heights Country Club. Here is how you can join me there -- 4 events on tap. 

This Friday, 8/19, and on Saturdays mornings to Labor Day, you can join me for a swim and aquatic experience. 

#1: Band Night and Pool Party, Friday, August 19 at Montour Heights Country Club. Music from The Dean Street Kings, 7 to 10 pm. Wine tasting earlier.. Opening the gates at 4:30 pm and into the evening. Bring your suits. We want you to play a game (or two) of SKWIM. 

 #2. Masters Swim Practice & SKWIM games for the next three Saturdays from 7:30 am to 11. Masters Swim Practice - lane lines and workout - happens from 7:30 to 8:30 am or so. Then we take out the lane lines and hold some SKWIM Games. So, you can come at 8:30 for that and bypass the laps. In the lap time, we'll do a freestyle lesson and mini clinic if you are so inclined. 

Okay to RSVP to Mark@Rauterkus.com. 

Wishing to re-launch the Saturday Swim School this summer and build up to a robust suite of aquatic experiences for winter and 2023. Chip in some $ if you are able and not a member of the club. All ages after 8:30 am. Parents and kids are strongly encouraged to come together. Heated pool. Summer is not over yet. Playing well with others happens here. -- Ta.
