We are in our 3rd week of practice and the athletes are working hard. Please make sure you are getting them to practice as much as posible.

Every practice we will need parents to help us open the Long Jump pit, and close it after practice . The cover is very heavy so please help out if you can!

I am still missing a lot of birth documents, and payments. I will need those before I certify the team. If I do not have everything I will have to take your athlete off the roster. If you are new to STORM and have not provided all documentation, please do it before Saturday!

We have started our field events and specialty events. Pleas elet your coache know if your child wants to try one of them. We will be sending athletes on a rotating bases. All Age groups will get a chance to try some of them.

High Jump,9/10 and up

Long Jump, all ages

Shot put, 9/10 and up

Javelin 7/8 and up

Hurdles 11/12 and up

Blocks -11/12 and up

Reminder, all Sub Gremlin and Gremlin parents must remain at practice and stay close to the gate in case your child needs you during practice! Please do not wait in the car, we will not release them to walk out alone!!

All other parents are welcome to stay and watch, or many parents like to walk around the outside of the track.

Parents are not allowed to be inside the gate unless your Sub, or Gremlin child needs you, or you are assisting the coaches.

Spike Shoes -Coaches will start using some of the training days with spike shoes this week! As a reminder if you bought new spike shoes this year, the spikes that came with them will not be the correct size. All of our tracks use 3/16 pyramid spikes only. I will have a supply of them for sell at the table for $5.00 per set. Please be sure to throw away the longer spikes that came with your new shoes. Many athletes will have the same shoes and bags, please make sure you put a name on them. Have your athletes bring them to practice and on the field with them.

I do have some loaner shoes if you want to look and see if I have the correct size for your athlete to try.

If you have any spike shoes in good contion that your child has out grown please donate them for others to use!!

Uniforms - All athletes need a uniform. This is the final week to order Uniforms can be picked up at practice on Saturday Only!.

Jelly Beans  We should have enough for now after you bring them back!! PLEASE BRING BACK THE SCOOP IF YOU TOOK ONE HOME

We offer this to all athletes only, if you would like siblings to take one please bring extra so that we make sure we have plenty every day!!

We ask that parents do not get the candy as we would not be able to have enough for all of you!!

Storm Spirit Merchandise

All ordered items should arrive about March 15th. I will bring all items to practice for pick up.

We may have another order in a few weeks if the vender will open the store

Track & Field is a competitive sport, all athletes must attend at least three meets on Saturday, to be on the team. There will be no practice only athletes.

We have reached the point that we just can no longer accept athletes who only want to practice on our team, that takes away our coaches time in training our athletes who do compete, so our policy is that we do not accept practice only athletes. Saturday Meets are mandatory
