We will meet from 9-10 a.m. this week. NOTE: We will start training 5 days a week next week!

If you cannot make it to a session, that’s okay! We know families’ schedules vary at this time of year. However, if you can’t make it to a session, make sure you are running on your own. I’m attaching general running times below—pick a time listed below (or a time in between the listed times below) to run on the days you will NOT be in attendance.

Lastly, medical forms and physical forms must be filled out and turned in PRIOR to Wednesday, August 1^st (the first official day of practice). Also, we will have a meeting on Tuesday, July 24th, to review the filling out of forms. More information will follow regarding this meeting!
