HLPS Bears Athletics

Welcome back, Bears!

We’re jumping right into volleyball, cross country, and golf, so make sure you know when your tryouts, practices, and meetings are happening and what time you need to be there.

It’s going to be a busy start to the year but we can’t wait to see our Bears back in action! 🐻🏐🏃⛳

If you have a student participating in golf, cross country, or volleyball, there will be a mandatory parent meeting on September 14 at 7:30 pm in the Gathering Area.

For volleyball, only students who make a team and their parents are required to attend the meeting.

Please note that student-athlete contracts must be signed before athletes are permitted to travel or participate in any sporting events.

‼️Important Information- please read carefully!

Volleyball tryouts begin next week, and the tryout schedule has been updated. Please note that there will now be only two tryouts for all teams. The previously tentative third tryout for junior teams will no longer take place.

Athletes must attend both tryouts to be considered for the A Team. If you are unable to attend one of the tryouts, you must let Ms. Connellan know before the first tryout.

If numbers allow for a B Team, Ms. Connellan will hold an in-person meeting following the tryouts to notify students who have been selected.

Interested in reffing this volleyball season, or want to better understand the rules of the game? Join us for the FVSD Volleyball Referee Clinic! The clinic is hosted online, making it easy and accessible for everyone to participate.

Reach out to Mr. Lanti ([email protected]) if you have any questions!

Join us for this week’s Golf practices!

Join the HLPS Bears Cross Country Team!

Lace up your shoes and join us for cross country running this season! Our first meeting will be after school on Tuesday, September 8th. Please attend this meeting so we know you’re interested in joining the team and can provide you with all the information you need for the season.

Practices: Mondays & Thursdays
3:15-4:15 pm

Whether you’re an experienced runner or new to cross country, everyone is welcome. Come out, get active, and be part of the Bears team!

See you September 8th!

Join us next week for drop-in sessions to get some touches in before the season starts! 🏐 Juniors and seniors will be in the gym together on separate courts. Come out, have some fun, and get ready for the upcoming season!

If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Connellan. We hope to see you there!

Due to the rainy weather forecast for tomorrow, golf has been postponed to Sunday, August 30th. The round will tee off at 11:00 am.

Our new bleachers were installed over the summer, and they look amazing! A huge thank you to our maintenance staff for all their hard work getting them installed. We can’t wait to fill them with fans and host many exciting events this year! 🐻🏐🏀🏸🏹

🏐 VOLLEYBALL IS ALMOST HERE! 🏐

We are so excited to get the volleyball season underway in just a couple of weeks! As we get closer to tryouts, here are a few important reminders for all athletes:

1. Attend EVERY tryout. Athletes are expected to attend all scheduled tryouts. Attendance at tryouts will be considered as part of the team selection process.

2. Plan ahead for work! If a tryout or practice falls on a day you are scheduled to work, be sure to arrange time off ahead of time.

3. Come prepared! Bring appropriate indoor athletic footwear, workout clothes, and a water bottle to every tryout.

4. Have questions or concerns? Please reach out to Ms Connellan!

5. Keep an eye out for drop-in volleyball! A drop-in volleyball schedule will be posted for the week of August 31. This will be a great opportunity to get some touches in and get ready for tryouts.

We can’t wait to see everyone back in the gym! Let’s get ready for a great volleyball season! 🐻🏐
