Clearance Status UPDATED 7am Sunday August 6
If you think you should be cleared but your name is not on the list below, please contact Mr Bonacorsi at nick_bonacorsi@fuhsd.org to find out what the issue is (Coach Flatow cannot clear you, only Mr. Bonacorsi can do that).
Here are people that seem to be working on their clearances but still have some issues or missing items: Madi Polidoro, Siran Gao, Juliana Banes, Ian Gee, Aaron Hung, Booker Vollrath, Cameron Polidoro, Sri Nandakumar, Aidan Kushman-Kihnley. I think that Mr. Bonacorsi will check again Sunday night to clear athletes, so if you just have a few more items to upload, please try to take care of this early Sunday so you are cleared by Monday morning. Please do not come to practice unless you have been cleared–if you come to practice and tell Coach “I uploaded my physical at 5am and finished my impact test 10 minutes ago” that is not good enough, it is Mr. Bonacorsi who clears you, not me! What I suggest is that you finish your application right now, then email Mr. Bonacorsi and say “I’m done, please please PLEASE clear me before practice tomorrow morning!” 🙂

Remember you have to be cleared before you come to a regular team practice with a coach present! Everyone can join summer running each morning, but once practice starts this Friday August 4 at 7am, you must be cleared by the AD to join us. Your coach cannot clear you, only the AD can (you can write to nick_bonacorsi@fuhsd.org if you have questions or problems or want to know why you are not cleared yet–Coach Flatow can’t help! Information on how to be cleared is posted. You can get a physical this week at a walk in urgent care clinic, even if you can’t get an appointment with your doctor.
Speaking of practice…
Practice Schedule
Until school starts we will hold practice at 7am from Monday through Saturday, six days a week…yes this is early, but trust me on this, we will all appreciate those cool morning runs the first afternoon we run out on McClellan and it’s over 90! The first two days of practice on Friday August 4 and Saturday August 5 are optional…but we do expect to meet all our overachievers, the runners with big goals, those days! We will start taking attendance at practice on August 7.
School starts on August 21, and we will begin running in the afternoons, but we can talk about that when we are closer to that date.
Show up at practice with comfortable running gear, sparkling new shoes, a full water bottle and a positive attitude!
Except for Saturday, August 13, when…
Adventure Run!
…we are going for a run on the California coast!
On Saturday, August 12 (sorry for the error in a prior post, confirm this is SATURDAY the 12th), we will come to school at 6:15am and load into a bus. The bus will take us to Natural Bridges beach, and we will go on a long run to Wilder Ranch. It’s a great run with some beautiful scenery! I loved this run as part of my marathon training. After the run, you can give your legs a bit of an ice bath in the ocean, fool around a bit, and then at noon we will be back on the bus and get you home by 1pm. In addition to running gear, pack some water, a snack, a towel, a dry t-shirt and a sweatshirt or something warm just in case, any other clothing you might want…maybe a beach toy.
You must complete your athletic clearance and have attended at least one practice the prior week if you plan to come on the beach run with the team.
yea!
