Greetings!


This week will be very exciting as we have a full week of practice, and the mock meet Please be sure to read the weekly newsletter completely for updated items. You can add more emails to this list by going to our website and clicking on the "Join Our Newsletter"

If you missed buying our Storm merchandise, the Vendor has opened the store for one more week. The last day to buy will be Saturday March 14th, all items will be delivered to me, and I will bring them to practice in about 2 weeks. If you have already ordered please pick your order up at practice on Tuesday.

Team Fundraiser- Please help us keep cost down and enjoy a Lazy Dog dinner on Tuesday or Wednesday! Make sure you let them know you are with Storm by showing the flyer. If you would like to order to go that is fine, but make sure you order from the Lazy Dog website and enter code 02Valencia at check out. Do not use a delivery service like ubber eats as we will not receive the 15%


We will have make up pictures on Thursday March 12th at 5:15 before practice. You can also purchase a extra package if you want and take that picture too.


This Saturday we start our volunteer program. The Mock meet is a way to get times and marks for athletes, and to show you how to help at the events! This is not an official meet and we will not do all of the events, nor allow all of the attempts in the fieled events. See schedule below. We hope the athletes can try as many of the events that they want for this meet. All athletes need to wear their uniforms. You will be receiving a sign up genius for all the positions we need help with on Wednesday . All of the jobs are easy and fun, and we will only be asking for 1.5 hour this week!



We are now closed for new athletes, Please make sure you have uploaded your birth documentordered a uniform and paid your fee, to stay on the roster, if this is not done by Saturday we may have to drop the athlete.

If you are no longer wanting to stay on the team please let us know.

Spike Shoes -We have a small supply of used spike shoes, that can be borrowed for the season! You will need to purchase the spikes.

If you have any spike shoes that no longer fit, please consider donating to the club and we can give them to those who need them.

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. Please be sure to have good training shoes this week. If they do not they will not be allowed to practice for the day.
