Purpose Field families:
Foremost, thank you all for your dedication and support. Our mentees are all experiencing such amazing amounts of growth on and off their playing environments. As we continue to grow we must maintain a sense of order and efficiency to make sure everyone is getting the most out of their experience in the program.
• We are of course still at max capacity with an ample waiting list. For in-season and/or congested schedules I highly recommend maintaining at least one session/week at minimum to ensure a roster spot. If a mentee is in-season and physically fatigued and needs simply a recovery and mental prep session we have that option to adjust to their suitability. During the fall high school football players will be able to attend our Gameprep group session on Thursday evening to prepare their mind, body, and spirit ready for competition. I strive to be as flexible as possible and will work to adapt to fulfill such requests to committed individuals. If a mentee is injured please still have them attend their session. There is always a modified program/therapy I can do to help them without affecting the area of injury. If a mentee is sick or exposed to any sick individuals please keep them home.
• As previously mentioned please adhere to our cancelation/no-show policy. Any no-shows will be counted against the session allotment. Any canceled sessions after a 24-hour window will be counted against the session allotment. I have fill-ins who cover open time slots and I need time to contact them and fill availability. All mentees are required to complete at minimum 4 sessions a month. If there is a trend of repetitive cancelations and lack of commitment to attend I hold the discretion to not renew or refund session allotments. Thank you for understanding and being accountable.
• Renewals are due immediately following the completion of the last session in the allotment. This “holds” your spot as a temporary deposit. Due to Purpose Field’s high demand I am unfortunately unable to hold (unpaid) time slots pending breaks or non-major injury related reasons. For those who prefer online convenience please forward payments to venmo (@elonpaige) or cashapp ($purposefield). Once a mentee is close to their renewal time I will send a courtesy notification as I keep detailed record of usage.
• Most of our mentees are consistent and timely in regard; please make sure they continue to complete their mental health check-ins each week. The life discussions are an important part of our growth process and we cherish those moments of introspection.
• Thank you to the many families who continue to show up downtown every month and at other community service events and charitable engagements. Relationship building is also a priority and the more I can get to know my mentees the better I will be able to serve them. Let your son/daughter know they are free to reach out to me for any advice whether life or sports related. Thank you parents for offering continuous feedback and for trusting and allowing me to do what I do. There is always an open door of communication. I will need volunteers for our Media Day event this Saturday (8/13) at Dave & Busters from 10:45 am - 1:30 pm if mentees are free to come serve please have them contact me so I can assign them their projects.
Listed below is a form that allows you to input what days and times each mentee is available for the fall (starting the week of 8/7/22). Please be as liberal and flexible as you can as we have many individuals to fit in minimal amounts of time. If there are any questions please reach out to me directly.
I’m excited to continue to see all the greatness from our mentees!
Thank you and love you all.
