We are all excited that the training trip is back. Here is a quick overview of the trip.
Dec. 30 Athletes will be bused to the FFA Center around 5:00 pm after practice. Upon arrival, they will be assigned rooms, complete team building activities, and have fun playing games/skits. Athletes will be served dinner around 7:00, and snacks/drinks will be provided for the remaining part of the evening. Coach will enforce lights out at a specified time.

Dec. 31 In the morning, athletes will be given time to pack items and clean-up FFA areas. Athletes will be provided with a drink and breakfast bag to eat before training. Athletes will travel by bus to the natatorium and will participate in dryland and practice from 8:15-11:00. After practice, everyone will be given a chance to change and gather items. The team will then be bused to Buca Di Beppo in Greenwood for a 12:15-12:30 reservation. Athletes are being asked to “dress up” for this meal. The team should arrive back to FCHS around 2:30 pm.

Packing List:
NO EXTRA money is needed. All items have been donated or paid for already.
water bottle, practice suit, cap, goggles, equipment needed per Zach, tennis shoes/socks, dryland clothes, toiletries, pajamas, comfortable change of clothes (outdoor activities so bring appropriate/warm clothing for being outside), sheet (twin bed), pillow, sleeping bag/blanket, “away meet” type clothing for Buca Di Beppo
Just a tip: Bringing bedding items in a trash bag keeps them protected and also makes them easy to carry and repack the next morning.
