Good afternoon, 

This will be my last email of the school year.  I will send a reminder for the second team store and team t-shirts this summer, so check your inbox occasionally.  

Team Suit

Please use the link on the main page to access the team store.  The deadline for this first order window is April 28th.  There will be one more, but it will be very close to the start of the season.

Practices 

We will hold 2 practice groups at the Central Clemson Rec Center on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday every week during the season.  Once the SCHSL sets our dates, I will send that out.  Practice is mandatory, and there will be 2 sessions again.  Practice 1 - 4:00 - 4:45pm and practice 2 4:45 - 5:30pm.  I will assign practice groups after our first practice.

Summer Training

After talking with leadership, we are encouraging summer workouts for everyone so we can maximize our season starting in August.  If you show up the first day out of shape, it will take weeks to establish the fitness needed to be competitive. While we can't host practices, we want to encourage you to train and keep in shape throughout the summer. I will be sending a link to a google doc with 3 dryland workouts that I want everyone to complete at least once a week. If you have access to a pool and would like to swim, please reach out to me or Luke Hamon at [email protected] and we can work together to create an individual work out plan based on your needs.  We have the chance to do big things with both the boys' and girls' team.  The road to the State Championship starts now!

Required Paperwork

We are excited to announce that we are now offering the convenience of online registration through Arbiter Student Registration (formerly BigTeams)! This is the only platform we will be using for student-athlete participation in the 2026-27 school year, so be sure you are uploading new physicals and signing necessary waivers here. We have simplified the registration process, and all waivers are now signed digitally! Please be sure to follow these steps to complete your registration and ensure that your student is registered for athletic participation:

1. Create an Arbiter Registration account (you only need one account for your whole family)
   • You may create your account by clicking here.
2. Activate your Arbiter Registration account, from the activation link that will be automatically sent to your email. (Note: this email may go into your junk folder).
   • If you are having trouble creating your account, receiving the activation email, or logging in, you may contact support at [email protected] or call us at 800-311-4060.
3. Once you have successfully created your account and are logged in, please click on the link below to complete your registration:

1. Once you have completed your registration, you will receive an email notification to let you know we have received your registration. Students MUST be registered and cleared to be eligible for participation.
2. As a reminder, a completed physical/history form and birth certificate are still required, so have those available before you begin.

Physicals

Physicals must be dated after April 1, 2026 to be valid for next season.  Blue Ridge is hosting a spring physical day for local schools.  See the attached flyer for information.  

I look forward to our 2026 season.  Keep checking the website for schedule updates.  I will add meets as I get them scheduled.  

Message me with any questions.  

See you in the pool,

Coach Henry
