H1N1 Precautions
 
All Coaches: Athletes NEED to be told  that if they have flu like symptoms, they NEED to stay home. The policing for this should be coaches and/or medical folks/SOMA staff that are around for competitions. This is something that we really need to enforce as school has started and there is an increase in the cases of H1N1 going around.
