Girls-Monday, Oct. 12 (Sohr Family Track and Field), Tuesday, Oct. 12 (Kever Park)

Practices will begin on Monday, October 19 upon our return from fall break and go from 3:30-5:00pm. The girls and boys will rotate weeks at Kever Park and Sohr Family Track and Field. We will field both varsity and JV teams for both girls and boys and play a game schedule with each team. As the weather starts to turn, please be sure your athletes are dressed appropriately for cold practice days. Masks and Water bottles will be required for each athlete on a daily basis.

Any boys soccer questions can be directed to Coach Phil Stankiewicz (philip.stankiewicz@mnps.org) and any girls soccer questions can be directed to Coach Anthony Petrucciani (petrucciania@hardingacademy.org). The coaches will announce virtual parent meeting dates and times in the coming weeks.

Cheerleading Moves to Late Fall

Cheerleading practice will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the gym from 3:15-4:45pm. Masks and Water bottles will be required for each athlete on a daily basis. Any cheer questions can be directed to Coach Allison Cunningham (cunninghamc@hardingacademy.org).

New Strength and Conditioning Offering

As a result of not having wrestling and swimming as late fall sport offerings, we are fortunate to be able to offer a strength and conditioning program with Coaches Sammy and Emma Cribb. We have created the late fall strength and conditioning schedule and will be sending that out individually to participants in the near future.

Wrestling and Swimming

As a reminder, we have made the difficult decision to not offer wrestling in the late fall season due to the close and constant contact required in the sport. Our developmental swim program will also not happen due to a lack of pool time and space across the city. Swim facilities have cut back their rentals significantly or stopped them altogether and have limited the number of participants in their pools. All middle TN swim programs who don't have access to their own facilities are being impacted by this. We are actively working to try and procure pool space for our competitive swim season in the winter.

8th Grade Athletes

4/8/2020

Harding 8th Grade Families,

This week's athletic highlights will begin a process of recognizing all of our 8th grade spring athletes. We are truly appreciative of the time and effort they put into Harding athletics not only for the short time they had this spring, but also for the previous three years as well. It goes without saying that we have a tremendous amount of gratitude for all of their unique contributions to our athletic program as a whole as well as to their respective teams. Even though we hold out hope that we can have some sort of season-ending competition in early May, we know it won't be the same as in years past and our hearts go out to all of the 8th graders for not having the opportunity to experience their final season at Harding in the way they had all anticipated.

Please check out the athletic highlights every Friday to see our recognitions for the Class of 2020 spring athletes.

Sincerely,
Corby Lucas
