They must be legible, valid (within three years) and have a doctor signature and consent signature on the forms to be acceptable.

Welcome Josh Dority

As many of you know my last day will be this Saturday. I will truly miss all of you and look forward to seeing you down the road. I am happy, though to hand off all of my job responsibilities to Josh. He will be around this weekend, so feel free to introduce yourself. He will be a great addition to the Genesee Region. If you need to contact him after this weekend, he can be reached at: 585-586-7400 x108 or email him at jdority@nyso.org. GOOD LUCK JOSH!!

Since a few Coaches have requested; here is my home email….jbells262@aol.com. (Steve keep this to yourself! I don’t want any emails from Morrisville.)

Cyr Athlete Awards

We will be having an athlete dinner on November 22nd, immediately following the conclusion of bowling. This event will be free for athletes and volunteers and we will be presenting our annual CYR awards. We would love to have every team in the region nominate a CYR athlete. This athlete should truly represent the training club in the very best way and be committed to training and competition. Please nominate your CYR’ athletes and e-mail to rmitchell@nyso.org. Please ensure that your nomination is able to attend the athlete’s dinner on November 22nd. Thanks in advance.
