I hope everyone is holding up well during this pandemic. Please follow the instructions given to you particularly from medical professionals. Right now I shall continue to post workouts for you all to try to do, so please do your best.
Avoid direct contact if you are outside of your home. Make sure you are cognizant of the elderly and please try to help them whenever the situation merits it.
You are all young and less susceptible to the virus, still do as they say, wash your hands well and no high fives or anything like that. Be careful about touching your face.
Regardless of what happens, we are still a team and we need to be prepared in the event the season does start and continue.
Remain calm.
We will all get through this. If you are assigned School work please get it done.
Listen to the news everyday so that you are not unprepared.
I hope to see all of you by April 6th or 7th.
Coach Budd

MESSAGE FOR TEAM 2020
Starting tomorrow, I am recommending that if you have NOT secured a one rep max prior to this upcoming season, that you do so tomorrow. 3PM the weight room (off from the small gym).
Remember what you lift in terms of weight (bench and squat). Those there shall show you the correct way to approach it.
We are not certain what is going to happen since Massachusetts has declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY.
Coach Budd is asking all Team Leaders to refer to the Secret Site for workouts., (which shall be posted starting tomorrow). Leaders can log onto www.trackcentral.net on the OUTDOOR 2020 GIRLS TEAM and view the entire Team Roster at this point along with cell numbers to contact individuals.
Coach Morrissey has mentioned ELHS Girls Track on BAND as well.
Since Coach Budd is old, forgetful and is technologically challenged, it might take months for him to figure it out. He is still learning how to use a calculator.

Team Leaders are:
Gabby Berthiaume
Grace Tredo
Olivia Calkins
Olivia Watson
Erin Lavelle
They shall all give you workouts based upon what they discover on the alternate site.
Keep in mind in East Longmeadow, we DO NOT HAVE CAPTAINS PRACTICES! However, any time you might assemble, you can use the term "conditioning".
There will be no penalty if you cannot attend any conditioning and you may always workout on your own. It is ENCOURAGED that you are prepared to work out prior to the first official practice!
If you are inside the school, it is highly suggested that you have adult supervision.
Coach Budd CANNOT attend any session.
Pay attention to recommendations regarding activity from physicians or any approved medical professional. This COVID19 or Coronavirus thing is SERIOUS and probably more pronounced than what we have all been told.
Keep washing your hands and drinking fluids to help battle it or any other type of cold or flu.
Rest and balance of schoolwork (like we always tell you anyway). Think positive.
You shall be informed from administration of any changes as well as when we shall meet on day one of practice, which is March 16 in the small gym. PASS THE WORD.

NEW YEAR'S EVE/DAY
First priority is safety.
Today is far worse than yesterday. Roads are dangerous.
Since it is New Year's Eve, I imagine that people have plans. This does not dismiss New Year's Day.
Most everyone will be back home, the weather will be better, the roads will be clear and Coach Besser would likely be able to join us.
We're moving today's practice to 10 tomorrow at the school.
Understand that we only have two days to prepare for Northampton on Friday and that we will be severely shorthanded. Most people don't even know what they're doing on meet day. We will not get everything in on practice on Thursday, no matter what we do.
I can compromise and move practice to 12 Wednesday so you can get a little more rest, but you all will have to have a discussion amongst yourselves in your chat room or use some other method to determine this. I only want to hear from a team leader - I do not need 100 text messages telling me why or why not people can come.
Gabby seems to be the one person who communicates with me most efficiently, so I'll wait to hear from her if you want to change it to noon or some other time.
Let me know by this afternoon.

WEDNESDAY PRACTICE AND REST OF WEEK
Looks as though we will finally have an opportunity to practice tomorrow. We are two days behind schedule, but not to worry.
Please plan on being ready in the small gym by 2:10. I shall quickly take attendance and we shall go up to the library. Dress as if we are going to do some activity.
My intention is to go over the team rules, hand out paperwork as well as ensure that all of the new people are correctly signed on to trackcentral.
If you do not know what trackcentral is, that is fine. There is a link on this page at the top that can direct you to it, but until you receive a code to sign in you shall be unable to do so.
If we have time following our meeting, we shall return to the small gym and we shall introduce you to our new warm up. I shall try my best for us to be done by 4:15.
There shall be no parents meeting Wednesday night as there is a concert going on at the school We should try for Thursday 6:30 in either of the cafeterias.
This is a very busy week at the school, so please make good use of your time.
Thursday please arrive by 2:30 and we shall immediately get underway. This gives you time to secure extra help or anything else now you need to take care of.
We will be testing all of the new people, while those that are not assisting in the testing will be on the bikes in the weight room for a prescribed time.
It turns out Friday is senior semi. I do not expect the seniors to be at practice, therefore we will do activities as a group with all non-seniors.
Practice Saturday at 8 for everyone. We will start in the weight room.
Unfortunately, because we have lost so much time, we will have to practice on Sunday as well. But only after 1 p.m. per School regulations.
