Practice Week #1: August 3rd - August 8th

Parents, going forward practices are mandatory and we'll be taking attendance. If you have a family commitment or you have a conflict, those are excused absences. Just make sure to communicate that to us. You can email Coach Rocco at rob.rocco@alcsoh.org regarding any absences going forward.

Monday we will hold practice from 9:30 - 11 a.m. Tuesday-Friday's practices will be from 8:30 - 10 a.m. We will be practicing at ALHS (meet at caboose) each day this week.

If you have an excused absence, please make sure you are still running! Running times are posted below. We still want to keep practices in the morning to mitigate the heat.
