Other

1. Remember that WHS Sports can be followed on Facebook (woodland high school athletics) and Twitter (whsbeavers) – and sports updates will also be available on our school website live feed.
2. Our league also has a website: 2agshl.com
3. Our fall captain training was well attended by captains from each fall sport.
   1. This training gives me the opportunity to build relationships with the team leaders of our programs. In addition, I share effective leadership strategies and tools with them – as well as stress the importance of them supporting their coach and their program by always putting the team first.
4. We will be having our first W Club meeting this month and will be selecting officers. The W Club is a club for all varsity letter winners that focuses on our athletes having a positive impact on our school culture as well as finding ways to increase school spirit and attendance/participation at athletic events.
5. The head coaches and I met this summer to work on our shared vision, define our core values and create a “brand” that we could all stand for (and behind). See attached. This is what we are about.
