Officials: SVSC is required to have more officials than what we have, we need parents
willing to officiate meets to sign up to become officials. This is a great way to learn more
about your children’s’ sport. For more information go to

WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.
If you have more questions talk to coach Mike.
Trivia of the month:
Congratulations to Marleah Schlick for turning in the trivia first for January again. Can
Marleah go for a threepeat or will someone else get it in first?
Trivia answers must be turned in to coach Amanda.
New Questions:
If you are the first to find out all the trivia you will receive a prize:
What is our favorite vacation spot?
If we could live anywhere where would that be?
If we could meet anyone famous who would we most want to meet dead or alive?
Quote of the month:
“Be a gentleman at all times.
Never criticize, nag, or razz a teammate.
Be a team player always.
Never be selfish, jealous, envious, or egotistical.
Earn the right to be proud and confident.
Never expect favors, alibi or make excuses.
Never lose faith or patience.
Courtesy and politeness are a small price to pay for the good will and affection of
others.
Acquire peace of mind by becoming the best that you are capable of becoming.”
John Wooden
Good Luck in all your endeavors.
