Week 8 July 18-20

Things were very busy around the office, while trying to get the website set up.  This has been no easy task because we are all working on the website together and are always having to contact the guy in charge of the website.  We have been working very hard to make sure this website looks sharp and is ready to go by the start of the fall sports.

Contracts have been done and all the schedules are set and ready to for the start of the entire athletic year.  The only things that need adjusting are the scrimmages for winter and spring because those coaches have not been in to figure out their scrimmages.  Personally I think its great that the Athletic Director gets all of his contracts done at once because it is a bit slower in the summer time and he actually has time to do the contracts where as when it comes to for the acadmeic year to start it is a lot harder because people are so busy. 

If there is one thing I would want to change to improve the athletics department at Cayuga Community College would be the addition of both a Sports Information Director, and a full time Athletics Trainer.  The problem with not having a full fledge SID is that the stats are not always up to date, nor are the news articles up on the website as quickly.  When it comes to a full time athletics trainer this may be harder due to the fact this is a community college.  Right now its hard for the part time athletic trainer to work around the sports schedules since the academic year has not started.  All the sports teams are practicing early in the morning and in the afternoon, unfortunately the trainer is only here from 3-5 making it hard for soccer players and volleyball players to get the proper taping done.
