Greetings!
Thank you all who were able to come to our "Meet the Coaches" Open House! this past Saturday. It was so exciting to meet so many new families and see our returning athletes.
We are still hoping to have a few new coaches join us for the season. We will be holding a Coaches training and clinic on Saturday Feb 2nd. Please join us if you are interested. We will train you, so no experience needed, just a love of the sport and athletes. Please contact Coach Elaine at coachelaine@runstorm.org. if you would like to help out.

Please be sure to look at the full newsletter each week. There are a lot of events starting and we do all our communication via website and newsletter.
