Friday, July 29th Practice

Hello Athletes,

Today's practice is canceled because of the pouring rain falling from the sky. Also, because of the thunder I just heard.

Please make sure to check out Summer Workout tab located below the title of the blog. We really want to make sure you run at some point this weekend.

One more request, please comment on this post, so I know at least some of you got it and then past the news on to others that practice is canceled.

I will pick up all med forms and physicals on Monday. Make sure you have them or we will send you home; without them you can't practice...

Thanks,

Coach Walters

Summer Track and Field Club

The varsity track coaches are planning on starting an Avon Lake Summer Track Club. We are going to work with people of all ages, from kids to adult. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to get in shape, have fun, and meet new people. I want to use the time to work with the incoming middle school cross country athletes, while other coaches will work with the high school distance runners, and our varsity track event coaches can work with middle/high school athletes. Parents and other community members are also welcome to work out with the club--no experience is necessary! Hopefully this will be a great way to promote the sport, help some younger kids, and it should be fun!

We were planning on Tuesdays & Thursdays, starting next week, from Tuesday June 14th through Thursday July 28th, from 7 - 9 p.m. Not every coach will be able to make it to every sessions, but someone should be there. All the event coaches have expressed interest so it should be an exciting new addition to our program.

If you are interested, one of our coaches has already registered our team through AAU. You will need to register through AAU at aausports.org and join the Avon Lake Track Club for liability purposes. While this opportunity is free for all who participate, we are asking that each athlete make a donation to the Avon Lake Track program if at all possible.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me!
