Hello parents,
Beginning this week, and continuing every week we have a meet, you will see additional clipboards next to the athlete sign in/sign out sheets. These new clipboards are the sign up sheets for track events. This Saturday, March 5th, is our practice meet. Each athlete is allowed to sign up for two running events and one field event. Available events for this weekends meet are the 4×100 relay, 400m, 100m, and Long Jump. You will notice that I highlighted available events only on the sign up sheet. I will have these sheets out both today and Thursday. If for some reason your athlete cannot make it to practice this week please email me the events your athlete would like to participate in.
Regarding Saturday’s Meet:
I require all athletes to be at the event by 8am. The meet will start at 8:30. I request for all athletes to be on time so they can get their event stickers and I can make event changes if necessary. The Gremlin team tent is the first orange tent in the stands. FOR EVERY HOME MEET THIS IS WHERE THE GREMLIN TENT WILL BE LOCATED. The tent is for athletes and coaches only. The volunteer position of teem parent/tent parent is also allowed under the tent.
Saturday will be a day of learning. I have many new athletes on the team and this is their first opportunity to learn the flow of a track meet and what is to be expected of them. I request that, during a meet, if an athlete is not currently participating in an event that they stay under the tent or with family. Playing behind or under the bleachers is not allowed.
If you have any questions please email me. I’m excited for this weekend and can’t wait to see what these athletes can do!
Coach Michelle
