Approved Di stance Athletes - When practice is at CENTRAL PARK the distance athletes will meet near the basketball courts. 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm. Please pick up kids from Central park before heading back to Saugus high School if you have children at both practice sites.

(Note this applies to the Approved Distance athletes that have done the mile test, or are returning distance track athletes). 

 

If you have children that have to be dropped at both the track and the park, drop at the track first at 5:45, and then at the park, do not leave children unattended! Please make sure there is a coach present before you leave. Pick up at the park first and then the track. 

 

RAIN POLICY

If it is 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 off your athlete if there is a chance for a canceled practice, please stick around

Please be sure to text STORMTF to 41411 to be added to our urgent alert system, in the event of a canceled practice, we will send a group text alert out telling parents to pick up their athlete.

We will be taking pictures at Valencia High on Saturday March 3rd. Due to the size of our team we will have the athletes arrive in shifts. If you have kids in multiple age groups you should arrive at the earliest time. Group shots will be taken at the time on the schedule, but if you can not be there at that time you can come anytime during the morning and get an individual shot taken. Your child must be present to be in the group picture. There will be a day scheduled later for make up pictures at practice.

Each athletes should pick up a card with their name on it when they arrive. The have to have this to get their picture taken.

ALL ATHLETES SHOULD ARRIVE IN THEIR UNIFORM

We will need a few parent for each age group to help hand out cards and help keep the athletes in order but, there will be no parents allowed on the field during the pictures, also laps will not be permitted to keep the background clear.

If you would like to join our Urgent Alert Text System, on your cell phone text the word "STORMTF" to 41411 and you should be greeted with a welcome message, we use this system rarely for very important urgent alerts, for example, We cancel practice early due to unforeseen circumstances

 

It's been brought to my attention that if your using T-Mobile, you may have to contact them to have Text Message Blocking shut off while you enroll. I believe once your enrolled you can turn it back on.

We will try to help you, but in most cases if you get an error trying to connect, I suggest you contact your customer service and see if there is some type of blocking on your phone preventing signing up for these types of text systems, I've been told that some games use text systems to bill your phone, our system will not bill your phone, we are paying for it.
