Greetings Alan,
Thank you all for being so flexible with the time change of practice. As you know we have no control on the times, so we have made it work the best we can with the school programs. The practice times have changed a bit so please see the schedule below. If you wan to purchase STORM spirit wear pleas edo it by Feb 20th. Items will arrive in about 3 weeks.
I am still missing a lot of birth document, and payments. I will need those before I certify the team. Saturday is the last day to accept them. If I do not have everything I will have to take the athlete off the roster. If you are new to STORM and have not provided all documentation, please do it before Saturday
This week we will be starting some of our specialty events. Age groups will get a chance to try some of them. They will all be on a rotating basis, so if your child wants to try them it is best to try and come all practice days. Events starting this week is:
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
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.
Make sure you bring your child ready to go!
Each athlete should have:
- A Large bottle of water, please -put a name on it
- Wear loose fitting work out clothes
- Warm up clothes, top and bottom -please put a name on it
- Appropriate running shoes
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.
Uniforms - All athletes need a uniform. This is the final week to order Uniforms can be picked up at practice most days.
Jelly Beans Please be sure to bring any Jelly beans you may have taken to bag and also the scoop back. We should have enough for now after you bring them back!!
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!!
