														Track & 
														Field Practice  
														
														Our practices are held 
														at Valencia High School 
														on the Track starting 
														Monday March 1st at 6:00 
														PM Sharp, the practice 
														will last until 7:45 PM. 
														We  will also practice 
														on Wednesday and 
														Thursday. Our Saturday 
														practices will be held 
														at 9:00 am - 11:00 am in 
														the month of March.
														
														We ask 
													that athletes attend at 
													least 2 practices per week.
													Practice is Open 
													to all athletes including 
													those on the wait list.
															
															 All Athletes will need 
														to bring with them a 
														bottle of water with 
														their name on it. A 
														light jacket with their 
														name clearly marked 
														inside next to the 
														collar label. and a good 
														pair of running shoes. 
															
															  
														 RAIN 
													POLICY 
														 If 
													it's raining practice is 
													canceled. However we will 
													practice in a light 
													sprinkle. This makes it 
													tricky, many times it is not 
													raining at the Track when 
													it's raining at home. Do not 
													drop your athlete off if 
													there is a chance of a 
													canceled practice, please 
													stick around. |

														Lap-A-Thon Fundraiser 
														 
														We are excited about 
														each and every athlete 
														participating in the 
														lap-a-thon. On 
														Monday March 22 during 
														practice, athletes will 
														run laps on the track 
														for one hour. This is a 
														very fun event for the 
														kids and an important 
														fundraiser for our team. 
														Money from this event 
														keeps our registration 
														fee low and helps us 
														provide equipment for 
														our training and meets. 
														This is a 
														music-motivated event; 
														singing along, running 
														to the tempo! Oh WAIT! 
														YOU'RE NOT A DISTANCE 
														RUNNER!? NOT important! 
														This is a fundraiser not 
														a race ~ run or 
														walk/dance, create an 
														hour-long relay team! 
														Challenge yourself! Just 
														recruit your donations 
														accordingly! The more 
														per athlete sponsors you 
														get the more donations! 
														There are 2 ways for 
														sponsors to support our 
														athletes, one is a per 
														lap donation such as 
														$5.00 per lap for you 
														distance runners; the 
														other is simply a flat 
														donation of any amount, 
														for example $20.00. 
														Our team will 
														acknowledge those who 
														raises the most funds 
														and all participants in 
														this event.  A Grand 
														Prize will be awarded to 
														the top athlete who 
														raise the most funds for 
														the club.
														 
														If for some reason you 
														are unable to 
														participate the night of 
														the event, families are 
														encouraged to OPT OUT by 
														giving a tax-deductible 
														donation of $40.00 
														payable to the SCTC. 
														This is our major team 
														fundraiser and requires 
														everybody's support. 
														Your effort will be 
														recognized and 
														appreciated. 
														Participants (athletes 
														collecting donations 
														from their sponsors for 
														$40 or more) 
														will receive a Storm 
														Lap-a-thon tee shirt.
														 
														When turning in money, 
														we ask that only ONE 
														CHECK PER FAMILY payable 
														to SCTC, be written for 
														the entire amount the 
														athlete has raised. 
														(Checks from Sponsors 
														written directly to the 
														club by non-members may 
														not be credited to your 
														child.) 
														 
														You can download the
														Pledge forms by clicking 
														here   or by visiting 
														our website, or asking 
														Michele at the 
														Info-Table. The due date 
														to turn in the funds is 
														April 15, 2010. Flat 
														donations can be turned 
														in immediately. Prizes 
														will be awarded based on 
														the most funds raised 
														and turned in by April 
														15, 2010. Funds will 
														still be accepted after 
														that date but won't 
														count towards the grand 
														prizes, will go towards 
														the Storm T-shirt.
														  
														If you have any 
														questions about this 
														fund raiser please talk 
														to Michele or Alan.

														Fitness Club Starts 
														March 15
															
																
																This year 
																we're adding a 
																fitness program,
																
																
																We will be 
																starting on 
																March 15 at 6:00 
																pm. 
																
																  
																
																If you want to

																same time as the 
																kids, then we 
																have at least 1 
																hour to do our 
																own workout. 
																We'll have to 
																leave the track 
																area as it is 
																reserved for the 
																kids, but we 
																will have an 
																area to do our 
																own work outs. 
																be ready to get 
																into shape as we 
																start this 
																decade off 
																right! 
																
																	
																	 The cost of the
