Greetings!

Happy Valentine Day, we love our Storm Family! We are so excited to get started this week! Our first practice went really well and we are looking forward to the week. We were just informed this morning that the Hart District unexpectedly pick up the gas lights from the Castaic field. We have been scrambling try to rent them for tonight and we were able to get it set up Yay!!
Uniforms Must be ordered today - We will be placing the final order for Uniforms in the morning You MUST order today if you want to be guaranteed the correct size All athletes need a uniform for competition we will have uniforms available for pick up on Tuesday and Saturday this week.
Jelly Beans & Jolly Ranchers -We ask all families to please bring a large bag on either Jelly Beans or Jolly Ranchers. The kids love these! We also need help bagging them and giving them out at the end of each practice!
Fleet Feet Shoe Store - On Tuesday Feb 15 Fleet feet shoe store will be at practice with training and race shoes for sell

Spikes - If you have purchased spike shoes they will not be coming with the correct size spikes All our tracks require 3/16 in spikes ONLY. I will have them for sell at practice most days, Check the information table They are $5.00 per set

Coaching Help Needed
We are still in need of a few assistant coaches and parent helpers No experience needed, just a willingness to learn and care for the athletes! Storm is a family of many different backgrounds!

Track & Field is a competitive sport, all athletes must attend at least three meets on Saturday, to be on the team. There will be no practice only athletes.

We have reached the point that we just can no longer accept athletes who only want to practice on our team, that takes away our coaches time in training our athletes who do compete, so our policy is that we do not accept practice only athletes. Saturday Meets are mandatory

Please click the following button to register for the 2020 Track & Field Program. Please note that the terms and conditions to registration belong to the Valley Youth Conference. This form is an exact electronic copy of the paperwork we had last year which was on paper.
The payment option is a separate option.
Uniform purchase is also a separate option. (Every athlete must compete in a uniform, but you are not required to buy a new one every year, if your uniform from last year or cross country is still good you may use that one, if your child has out grown it, you might want to purchase a new one).
New athletes we must have a copy of the proof of age (see below).

A proof of age document must be uploaded using the form on the runstorm.org website for each athlete that is New to the club. If you competed in 2021 Track & Field or 2021 Cross Country for Storm we have your proof of age document still on file.
