Track & Field 2020
March 2nd, 2020
This week we have a full week of practice, please make sure you are there at least 2 days but, If your child is sick do not bring them to practice!!

We will begin to introduce spikes, field events, and starting block this week! I will have the correct spikes out this week for $3.00 per set. If your athletes will be using spike shoes please make sure you put your name on the bag. They should bring them on the field with them so as not to have to get them later.

Please bring J elly Beans to practice this week I am still looking for a few parent volunteers to organize the candy! This is a very easy job and will take care of your volunteer requirements. We also need a few parent every night to give them out.

We have a "No Parents" on the track during practice policy! We really need all the available space for the kids and our coaches are all fully background checked for safety reasons. If you would like to be a parent helper for an age group please contact your age group coach.

You may walk on the front side only of the track but please not on the actual track, There is not enough room on the back side of the track to walk due to the lights, Lane nine is being used so we really need to leave all of the track for the athletes also there are no strollers allowed on the track or infield.

If you have questions or need to talk to a coach please arrive early or talk to them, or after practice so the coaches can focus on the athletes during our short time. You can also send an email on the"contact Us" link below or from the website!

We need birth documents for all NEW athletes if you have not uploaded it, you can bring a copy to practice. We will need to certify our team so please turn in Some has turned in hospital records, these are not sufficient, please see our list below.
