Fun Summer Team Bonding Events
Watermelon Eating Contest – Canceled for 2021 due to COVID
Who can eat the most and fastest? Get your teams together and see if you can out eat the coaches. Lake Forest Sports Park
2019 Recap: 10 watermelons, 4 teams, only one winner. Team 3, the boys varsity team, was stacked with fast eaters however they were disqualified for jumping the gun! Team 1, the girls team, played a strategic game by eating multiple pieces at once! That team however was no match for team 2, the freshman boys and Grace, as they played an even more strategic game by secretly placing slices on the table of team 4. Team 4, the sophomore boys, definitely won……messiest table. Overall winner? Everyone wins when you get to eat fresh cold watermelon after a good long run!

2019 Recap: Athletes, coaches, parents…. no one was safe from the super soakers today! Coach Chai who was “untouchable” was the first one to be hit with a super soaker! Athletes sore from Coach Moore’s tough core workout sought revenge and got it with a bucket full of cold water. With limited super soakers available, athletes used anything they could get their hands on! Cups, buckets, cones… you name it! Everyone loved cooling off and soaking the coaches on the hot summer day!

In need of parent volunteers to transport runners/food donations. Please contact Coach Bark at carolbark@yahoo.com
2019 Recap: Our varsity guys and girls got in a great second run with a beautiful view of the ocean while their teammates cooled off in the water. A few sophomore boys were burried in the sand while the freshman girls played vollyball. Once the sun went down our tired athletes came to relax by the bonfire and roast smores. Our freshman boys of course had a different idea, they roasted anything they could, fruit and veggies you name it. The night ended with singing happy birthday to Ian and enjoying a big slice of cake! THANK YOU to all the parent volunteers for driving our athletes, bringing food and making this day a success!

2019 Recap: Candy and popcorn, hot chocolate oh my! Although Coach Chai’s nutrition seminar might not recomend our selection of snacks for movie night our athletes sure enjoyed them! The well deserved night off for these athletes was a success! Blankets were spread out on the grass and popcorn was being popped as they laid back and enjoyed Maze Runner under the stars.
