WHAT’S UP?
LATE SUMMER AND FALL SPORTS PROGRAMS |
|
GOLF Our SOMO Golf Team features training in levels 1-4. All athletes must begin at level 1(skills)
and be assessed through state sanctioned competition at a qualifying score
before moving to level 2 (9 holes, every other ball with a Unified Partner).
All athletes are required to have a Unified Partner train and compete with
them. We train mid-week beginning August 13th and attend travel competitions
on weekends through the season in preparation for the state games in early
October. If all athletes from last season’s team return, there will not be
any openings on the team this season. If you are interested in being added to
our wait list, please sign up either on-line or via the mail in sign-up in
this issue. If you have questions about the program contact Head Coach Chuck
Hellmuth at cthjr413@aol.com |

TENNIS Our Tennis Pilot Program went very well last fall and is
back this fall! Because of the popularity of the program and facility limitations, we will limit the
athlete slots to 30. There are still a few slots open. We offer training in the
basic skills of tennis with the goal that each player advance to mixed
doubles with a Unified Partner. We have 4 levels of training: juniors and
beginners, Intermediate ( high school and young adult), seniors and advanced
players. We train on Sunday late afternoons ( 4:00-6:00) at the outdoor
tennis courts in Cabin John Park beginning on Sunday August 17th through October 19th . We are very fortunate to
have the MCTA ( Montgomery County Tennis Association) as our partners. These
skilled and wonderful tennis players coach our athletes and prepare them for
local and state competition. The State Fall Games will be Saturday ,October
25th. Questions about the program? Email Pam Yerg at jeyclan@verizon.net |

CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING Our Fall Cross Country Running Program began with a Summer
Run Program led by Coach Bob Stack and several of our Cross Country parents.
Athletes wishing to participate in the Fall Cross Country Running Team should
plan to attend the summer runs whenever possible. Coach SpongeBob will need
the assistance of parents and older siblings to help with chaperone and
leadership duties in the Summer Run
Program. Runners will meet at Olney Park on Thursday evenings at 6:00 beginning
July 17th, and work on stretching and running techniques as they prepare for
the Fall Cross Country Season and competition in local, regional and state
Road Races. The Fall program details
will be on the SOMO website by mid-August. Practices will be on Sundays at
Good Counsel High School beginning in late August. All Athletes interested in
the Cross Country Running Team must sign up online or mail in the sign up form in this issue. |
