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.
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.
We ask
that athletes attend at
least 2 practices per week.
Practice is Open
to all athletes including
those on the wait list.
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.

we're adding a
fitness program,
We will be
starting on
March 15 at 6:00
pm.
If you want to
get into shape,
then this is the
program for you.
The plan so far
is that we will
warm up at the
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
program
is $20.00 fee
per month. To
Register please
