What a first week! Our club is full, and that sign in line out to the parking lot on Monday was a bit too much, we changed that process to having the coaches take roll call, this should help allow the kids get in to do their warm up and eliminate the line out to Carls Jr.

 

A bit of rain on Wednesday, practice was canceled, but then some of the kids were still able to practice, so some of the coaches stayed and they worked out, ends up that the rain had ended and the rest of practice was just fine.  

 

I am not sure if you all were able to get out to the track a bit earlier on Thursday evening to see the high school track meet. This might have been the first time some of you had a chance to see what a track meet is like. I say it's like a three ring circus or organized chaos with field events going on at the same time running events are going on, the athletes are moving about the field going from event to event, and the high school meet was a good opportunity for first time athletes and families to see a meet in progress. It is much like the Olympics that you see in the summer games. We'll have 2 more meets during the season and we'll have to deal with it those times, we'll start our practice at 6:30 on those days and go until 8:00pm.

 

Please be sure to have have a snack when you get home from school, do not come to practice with your gas tank empty. Drink at least 1 or 2 glasses of water, and have a banana or a energy bar. You are going to be burning some fuel so keep make sure you don't run out of gas.

 

This week will be a short week, we won't have practice on Thursday evening due to another event going on at the high school.
