SCS Development Director Update

January 16th, 2014
 
Hello SCS Members
 
I hope everyone is well and that your athletes are gearing up for Championship Meet Season in strong fashion!  Here are some items of importance for you and your clubs:
 
  • Top 10/20:  A new Top 10/20 will be out tomorrow afternoon.  Please send me your meet results from any out-of-lsc meets that your club has attended by noon tomorrow.  I am happy to give this reminder occasionally, but please do not rely on this.  As soon as you get the meet results from an out-of-lsc meet that your club has attended, please immediately send me a copy.  This will help ensure that we have our strongest and most accurate Top 10/20 list for SCS--thank you so much in advance for your attention to this important matter!
  • Communication/Club Contacts:  As you know, effective communication is the cornerstone to any successful business.  For SCS to communicate as effectively as possible, and for our business to be as successful as possible, I need to know the right people to contact about the right information.  Every club is different, and coaches duties and responsibilities vary from club to club.  I would greatly appreciate it if you would send me email addresses for the best non-coach contacts for your club.  This email list is mainly comprised of coaches and SCS Board Members, with a couple club board members or admin personnel that have been added from your response to my request for these items.  Coaches, it would be great, if applicable, if you could send me an email address (or multiple email addresses) of admin members of your team if you see that it is appropriate to do so.  This will help with communication, and ensure that every club is getting the message and info that is crucial to all of our businesses running successfully.

  • Here is a link for the Zone Application for Coaches that want to be on the Zone Staff this summer.  The deadline is February 8th, and applications need to be emailed to our Age Group Chair, Brooke Carr:  coachbrooke@gcrd.org  Also, if your swimmers would like to be considered for selection for Zones from Short Course swims/times, this application needs to be sent to or turned into Brooke by February 15th.  Attached is a copy of the athlete Zone application as well.  Please read the attachment for further information.  If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact Brooke or myself, we are happy to help.                                                 https://www.teamunify.com/TabGeneric.jsp?_tabid_=19783&team=szscslsc
  • Here is a link to a workout from Jack Maddan, head coach of FLEET and our SCS Age Group Select Camp coach from this past fall.  This is a workout that he repeats with his swimmers once every 4-6 weeks.  Feel free to use it with your swimmers.                                https://www.teamunify.com/SubTabGeneric.jsp?team=szscslsc&_stabid_=19584
  • An important rule interpretation change that is good to know:  This is the butterfly and breaststroke separated hands interpretation ruled on in December by FINA.  A big thanks to Carol Hammond for putting this up on our website!  Please follow this link for the details as well as helpful illustrations:  http://www.sc-swimming.org/szscslsc/UserFiles/File/FINA%20Breastroke%20&%20Butterfly%20Separate%20Hands%20rule%20interpretation%20Jan%202014.pdf
  • Fundraising:  Team Unify has offered to host 4 webinars just for us on their fundraising platform.  There are two offered Tuesday, Jan 21st, one offered Tuesday, Jan 28th, and one offered Thursday, January 30th.  Typical results from using the Team Unify system for fundraising have shown to improve revenue raised by 100%!  Please check out the links below if you are interested and for more details on times etc as well.  It is a great system and can really help your club maximize fundraising potential!  Please click on the links for more info and feel free to contact Kory Bright with Team Unify with any questions:  kory@teamunify.com
