Big Sister / Little Sister

The Big Sister/ Little Sister
is a program which provides support for swimmers and divers. Through
this program, it is our goal to break down cliques that can emerge
during the season while orienting the inexperienced athletes to
interscholastic competition. Freshmen and sophomores are randomly
matched with upperclassmen to provide support on a "one-on-one" basis.
This program has continually been one of the most successful aspects of
the swimming and diving program at Fremd.
It is important to note that the Big Sister/Little Sister program is an
attempt to motivate the ladies and orient them to an environment that
many have not encountered before. Therefore, it is not a contest to see
how much money you can spend instead, it is a chance for the ladies to
bond with their teammates. This can be accomplished by remembering
teammates before meets, on special occasions, or just to brighten their
day. Some great ideas to "psyche-up" teammates include signs, posters,
cards, letters, and making sure that you cheer for your "sister" during
her events. Remember, it's the thought that counts! Big sisters will be
selected during the second week of practice. |
