A MESSAGE FROM COACH


Dear Parent / Guardian,


We are excited that your daughter has an interest in joining the Pinnacle Spiritline family this season. The purpose of Pinnacle Spiritline is to represent Pinnacle High School in a positive light as well as promote and generate interest, enthusiasm, support and pride in athletic teams, events and traditions at Pinnacle High School. Spiritline Athletes are positive role models​ to their fellow peers and are expected to be examples of school policy regarding attitude, attendance, academics, and sportsmanship. In addition, all squad members will learn the importance of commitment, teamwork, and responsibility.


Included below is important information designed to inform you about our program and to help prepare your athlete for tryouts. It is vital that members of the team have the full support of their parents. Therefore, there will be a required parent/athlete meeting held in Pinnacle's Auditorium on Tuesday, April 25th @ 6pm to present pertinent information and answer questions. After the tryout process is completed and the final squads are selected, an additional meeting will be held at a later date to discuss final details and expectations pertaining to the program and the upcoming year.


Please take time to read through each section of information provided below and discuss them with your athlete. Membership on Pinnacle Spiritline will require an extensive time commitment. Jobs, family obligations, and social activities may need to be rescheduled in order to meet the responsibilities and obligations inherent to involvement with Spiritline. There is also a considerable and unavoidable financial commitment that goes along with participating as an athlete on the team. If after reading the accompanying information and attending the informational meeting you feel like you would like to try out for Pinnacle Spiritline, please complete the checklist at the bottom of this page.


Being a member of the Pinnacle Spiritline family often leads to the development of close and lasting friendships and can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. We appreciate your family’s interest in and support of Pinnacle Spiritline and look forward to meeting you and your child on Tuesday, April  25th.


Sincerely,

Kaley Nowaczyk

Spiritline Director & Varsity Pom Coach
