Upcoming Spirit Week

Benicia Stingrays

Hi Team,

 

We wanted to let you know that Spirit Week will occur during the last regular week of practice, July 22nd-July 26th.  This notice is a little bit early to give you all time to plan and please sign up for a social volunteer shift (unlike the schools, which give us 12 hours notice for Spirit Week, we wanted to give you time to plan!!!)  

 

Welcome to Spirit week, the week leading up to our biggest and most important meet, League Meet! It's also a week full of drag, which means wearing extra clothing during practice to make practice a tad bit harder. Come meet time on Saturday, the kids will feel extra light and extra ready! 

There are themes each day so wear your fun spirit wear to make drag week not such a drag!
 
This last week is also Coaches' Appreciation Week.  Tuesday through Thursday, there will be cards that kids can decorate and sign.  Many kids bring small gifts for their coaches and junior coaches (definitely not required!)  A sweet note can mean as much as an expensive gift!  Each coach will have their own bin and you can bring your personalized cards or gifts any of these 3 days.  Please remember that it is hot on the pool deck--any gifts you bring will be sitting out past noon time--chocolate and home baked goods are 100% appreciated but often do not hold up well in the sun.  
  • Adult Coaches:  Coach Mariska, Coach Miguel, Coach Steve, Coach Karissa, Coach Elias, Coach Inessa, Coach Elian, and Coach Aden
  • Junior Coaches:  Janessa, Claire, Evan, Ava, Jeffrey, Conor, Maya, Amelee, Peyton, and Caden.
 
Here are our themes for each day:
  • Monday, July 22
    • 'Merica Monday--Wear your Red, White and Blue
  • Tuesday July 23
    • Tank Top Tuesday 
  • Wednesday July 24
    • Wacky Wednesday--Anything crazy! 
  • Thursday July 25th
    • Tie Dye Thursday--Wear anything tie dye AND bring a white t-shirt for your child to dye before or after their practice (please note they can't miss practice to participate in tie dying so plan accordingly timewise). We will have some extra white tees (not a ton).  In case someone forgets their shirt, they can purchase one but we can't guarantee we will have one in their size so try to bring your own. 
  • Friday July 26th
    • Floral Friday--let's get tropical with those floral hawaiian shirts! 

 

Let's go Stingrays!!!!!!
