Practice Facility Notice
Practice facility will be closed for the rest of the week and will be open again Tuesday, May 28, 2024.
When the facility re-opens we ask of those using the gym, at a minimum, to adhere by the following expectations:
clean up after yourself;
use the gym to play games and get better at one’s sport or athletic abilities…please do not make the gym a “hang out” place;
non-Sundown residents should be accompanied by an adult;
students below the 8th grade should be accompanied by a parent;
all students without parent supervision need to leave the gym no later than 9pm nightly;
use the gym to play basketball as the game is designed to be played (ie - no hanging on the rim, no tackle basketball, no balls purposefully thrown off of the walls, etc.)
refrain from bringing speakers to the gym…the music is not monitored;
if you are not a current eighth grader, you should not use the weight room without parent supervision;
students using the weight room should have a partner or spotter at all times;
use the weight room to lift and get better as an athlete…it is not a play place;
keep doors closed and do not prop open; and
use the restroom facilities as they are designed to be used.
Again, at a minimum, please adhere to these guidelines. Going above and beyond is expected and greatly appreciated.
We do want the community to benefit from our facilities. However, we do not want damage or misuse of these facilities to occur. We do not want anyone hurt. And, we do not want to add extra cleaning work to our staff that is already making efforts to clean and prepare the facility for the upcoming school year.
Allowing community members to use the facility is a privilege. Treat the facility as if the privilege is worth keeping.
Thank you,
Mr. Evans
