Dear Wings Team,

BOWLING

Our bowling team of 70 athletes is enjoying a great season at Texa-Tonka Lanes in St. Louis Park.  Many birthdays have been celebrated and high scores abound.  Bowling is great exercise and in addition, our athletes and coaches are having a great time enjoying social time while cheering on each other.  Our annual Halloween Costume Bowling Party is coming up on the 29th.

FUTURE COMPETITIONS

The State SOMN office has announced competition dates for next year and many have been added to the Wings Calendar found on our Wings website.  Some dates are still pending and are not yet posted.

MEDICALS

The most time consuming activity for families, leadership and SOMN staff is usually the updating of athlete medical forms and coach certification.  Please go to our Wings website and read through the information that will inform you of the process and answer your questions.

Check the athletes tab when you are notified that medical forms are due to expire.  Forms can be printed to bring to the doctor’s office.  Remember, you don’t have to wait three years to ask your doctor to renew the form.  Both the athlete info page (signed by family or guardian) and the medical form (signed by health provider) are submitted.  Consents are redone ONLY when the athlete turns 18.  We need guardians to pay attention to ALL of the details of this process so that extra work does not fall on Wings Leadership or SOMN staff.

Coaching information has also been updated.

Thank you and GO WINGS!
