Please see the previous post for more details about the training trip. Here is just another quick packing list and some tips. Athletes should bring all their training trip gear into afternoon practice at FCHS on Thursday. Buses will be loaded immediately following practice completion at 5:00 pm.

Packing List:
cap, goggles, towel, practice suit, practice equipment needed per DeWitt
tennis shoes
socks (probably more than 1 pair)
“work out” clothes
comfortable change of clothing
“dress up” clothing for Buca
toiletries
pajamas
sheets (twin)
sleeping bag/blanket, pillow
water bottle
phone charger (if applicable)
an extra trash bag/plastic bag to put wet/muddy clothes in if needed
any medication that was listed on the medical form previously filled out
NO EXTRA CASH is needed

Things to think about when packing:

1. Athletes will be playing Capture the Flag outside upon arrival. Please base clothing on the outside weather/temperature. Clothes may get wet and dirty. Please make sure athlete has something to change into if this would happen.

2. Bringing bedding in a trash bag is an easy way to protect it as well as get it packed in the morning.

3. Putting names/initials in any clothing that other teammates might also have is a good way of assuring your athlete will return with the correct items or those items can be returned to him/her if found.

4. The packing list above contains just suggestions on items that have been brought on previous training trips. You know your son or daughter and what he/she might need. Just make sure to watch the weather/temperature to help gauge clothing. And, also don’t forget that we have had several days of rain which is sure to have left the grounds around the FFA Center slightly muddy!

As always, reach out with questions or items that I might have forgotten! Thanks to all who donated items to make this trip successful and fun! The athletes seem excited about it!
