Please note that while we encourage the girls to regularly attend our Saturday practices, the other activities are based on what fits into your schedule. The schedule will be available on our webpage, as well, and is subject to change. Any changes will be mentioned in our weekly emails and on the webpage. All practices are RAIN OR SHINE. If practice has to be cancelled due to extreme circumstances, you will be alerted through an email and through our Facebook page.
DIRECTIONS TO J. Mason Tomlin (JMT) SCHOOL
JMT School is located at 393 Main Street, Mantua, NJ 08051. From Route 45N, turn right at traffic light onto Mantua Blvd (at Post Office), and then turn right again at next traffic light onto Main Street. Continue straight for .7 miles. School is on the left.
PARKING
Please use the parking lot to the right when facing the school. There is NO PARKING in the circular driveway or on Main Street by order of the Mantua Township Police Department.
ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL
Practices begin promptly at 10:30AM and end promptly at 11:45AM. When you arrive at JMT, drive to the back of the parking lot. Enter the APR using the doors in the rear of the building. PLEASE SIGN IN/SIGN OUT YOUR DAUGHTER WHEN DROPPING HER OFF AND PICKING HER UP. If someone other than you is taking your daughter home, please alert the coach upon your arrival. These rules are for the safety of your child.
SWAG DISTRIBUTION
T-shirts, journals and water bottles will be distributed again on Saturday for anyone who couldn't attend our first practice.
WHAT TO WEAR
Probably the most talked about topic will be what to wear! The girls should come dressed to match the weather but also ready to run in their Girls on the GLOW t-shirts, sweatpants or running shorts, proper running shoes, and a hat or visor. A light jacket or sweatshirt is recommended on cooler days. If your daughter wants to bedazzle her t-shirt and personalize it with her name, that is highly encouraged! Just be sure to supervise carefully as a replacement t-shirt will cost $15. Be sure to apply sunblock before arriving!
WHAT TO BRING/NOT BRING
Girls should bring water to drink, their journals, and their smiles! Things to not bring: cell phones, iPods and, of course, the drama!
ASPIRING ATHLETES
If your daughter is interested in training for a 5K, she can take part in our Aspiring Athletes group. These girls should be able to run at least 1 mile at any pace without stopping and have the determination it will take to accomplish their goal. This group will train by running to Chestnut Branch Park and back if we have sufficient volunteers; otherwise, they will remain on the school grounds. A permission slip will be required to participate in the Chestnut Branch runs. You can CLICK HERE to download and print the form. Please bring it to the first practice.
"I Ran A Marathon"
Your daughter will receive a certificate once she has logged in 26.2 "miles" of activity! How does it work? Every 20 minutes of physical activity counts as 1 mile. Examples of physical activity include: soccer games/practice, dance class, bike riding, tennis, etc. One hour of soccer practice would count as 3 miles! Our GLOW practices offer 40 minutes of activity so that would count as 2 miles. If you're GLOW Girl is running, she should write down the actual number of miles she runs. Once she has logged in 26.2 miles, please email me at dina@mhwtc.com. Your daughter will be presented with a certificate that says "I RAN A MARATHON" at her next practice!
