Track & Field 2022
March 7, 2022
This week we start our volunteer program. All the information is on the web site for you to sign up. Please also sign up for your age group remind app, this is also on the website. This is how the coaches communicate on race day for warm up.
This Saturday we will have our mock meet time trial. This is to help us get times and to help you learn how to volunteer at the finish line, field events, Set up, clean up and Staging! Please check on Tuesday to sign up for events. Parent should meet in the stands @ 8:00 for volunteer information! We will train you to do the events, most are very simple and a lot of fun!
Urgent! All birth certificates and Payments are past due! Please send this in or bring a copy to practice today!! - I have to certify our team this week with the VYC! All links are below in this newsletter!

Sub and Gremlin Parents Important Information- As you know we require Sub and Gremlin parents to stay close in case you child needs you. We are having many athletes needing the bathroom during practice. The Coaches can not leave the field to take them. Pleases try to take them before practice and also be available to take them during practice if needed.
All athletes need to have their water on the field with them. It is dangerous for them to cross the track for water. Make sure they have their name on the bottle and know what it looks like!

Uniforms- Please pick your uniform up at Practice
