Dear Storm
Family,
Happy Tuesday to
everyone! Crazy to
think we are winding
down the regular season,
this time of year it
always seems like an
eternity since we
started. We've had
great races and
practices and I hope
that every one of you
have had a lot of fun!!
I certainly have had a
blast working with each
of you. The end of the
season brings mixed
emotions, a little
sadness, a little
happiness (for the rest
aspect), but overall
it's hard to see another
year go by. Alright
enough sobbing, let's
get to this final week
of regular season.
There is a lot to think
about so please read
carefully.
First is our final meet
this coming Saturday
which we host at Central
Park. We need lots of
parents for the
following positions:
dad's to help me and
Alan setup in the
morning. I need about
5-8 dads to be there by
6:30 to setup tables,
tents, chalk the course,
setup the finish line
and do whatever else we
need. We need 4-6
parents willing to work
the concession booth
which is a fundraiser
for the team. We sell
the stuff you bring as
donations so that
includes: donuts,
granola bars, Gatorade,
water, candy bars,
cookies, cupcakes (I
like orange
frosting)... Please
every family plan on
bringing something to
contribute, make it easy
and spend $20 on
whatever you want on
that list and then we'll
have plenty. Maybe
coach Elaine will be
more specific with
splitting you guys up,
we'll talk more tonight
at practice. During the
race we will need a
couple course monitors,
4 to be exact, so please
be willing to take a
turn when your kid is
not racing. Finally
we'll need 5-6 parents
willing to help at the
finishing chute to pull
tags and make sure kids
stay in line. Please,
please, please plan on
sticking around through
the entire meet. Watch
all the athlete's and
cheer them all on.
There will be awards
given out after each
race for the top 3 teams
and top 8 individuals.
That's enough on the
race, we'll rehash these
details during practice
this week.
Second is our banquet.
My wife will be heading
up the coordination but
we will need some help
with serving food and
drinks, setup of tables
and decorations, and of
course taking it all
down. Please email me
if you have an interest
in that. Along the
lines of the banquet WE
NEED YOUR PICTURES FROM
THE RACES. Please bring
a cd or dvd with as many
pictures as you took
from the races so we can
put together a slide
show that will be
available for download
to everyone.
Finally athletes,
prepare for this final
race. The course will
be fast, and the
competition fierce. You
have home field
advantage so use that!
Pick out the other
competitors that you
have been close to and
make it your goal to get
them this week. We only
have 2 more practices so
stay focused on your
goal and finish the
season strong!
Ok, that's it for now.
I am excited to close
the season off on a high
note so keep your kids
rested and help them
stay focused and it's
going to be a great race
Saturday.
See you all tonight!
Thanks for a great
season so far!
Coach Jeremy
