Practical Magic: Packing Your Bag

The Scouts' motto is: "Be prepared."

You've heard the story from 2005 at Andover when setter Amanda Hallett broke a shoelace and reserve setter Taylor Pearson came in to win six of seven points until another player's shoelace replaced Amanda's.  

I've seen basketball parents buy sneakers because their daughters forgot theirs. Don't be that girl. 

Make a checklist (spreadsheet) Pack your bag the night before and check your list

1) Uniform: Including knee pads and ankle supports

2) Footwear: Volleyball shoes and extra shoelaces 

3) Nutrition: Water, sports drinks, snack 

4) Accessories: Hair bands, extra contact lenses, lens solution

5) Medicals: Tape, Band-Aids, medications (asthma, migraine, anti-inflammatory, personal care products)

6) Miscellaneous: Compression stockings, arm sleeves, and extra anything that pertains for you
