8U Tigres Families,
Tomorrow’s meet will be held at Thousand Oaks High School School at 2323 N Moorpark Rd, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360. Events start at 4:00pm, but please arrive at 3:15pm so that we can get the kids checked in and hand out their bibs.
We will set up our home base in the stands. Canopy tents are not allowed in the stands so when you get there please look for the 8U coaches. During the meet please try to stay close to our home base when your child’s events are up so that the coaches can find them and bring them to the starters tent.
It is impossible to say for sure how long the meet will go. Individual events have no starting time after the official 4 PM start – they are run in order and the start times will depend on the completion of the prior event. Be ready for hours and hours of cheering and fun!
Prepare for the cold! The temperature is expected to drop into the low 50s as the night progresses. Bring blankets, jackets and hats for those of you in the stands as well as sweatpants and jackets for the athletes. The meet will overlap with dinnertime, but only water is allowed on the field. Try to have your athlete eat only light foods (off the field) until after their events; while we don’t want them to be hungry, they also won’t want to run on a full stomach. Bars and fruit are good snacks until they are finished running all of their events.
If you signed up for a relay, but are unable to make it, please let me know ASAP so that we can adjust the teams.
I am looking forward to a great meet and seeing the kids compete.
Thanks,
Coach Mike
