| 2011 CYO TRACK INFORMATION |
Important Track Practice Notice!
Track Athletes and Parents:
We will begin track this week. The following dates will be our practices for March:
Wednesday, March 16, 6-7pm
Thursday, March 17, 6-7pm
Tuesday, March 22, 6-7pm
Wednesday, March 23, 6-7pm
Thursday, March 24, 6-7pm
Tuesday, March 29, 6-7pm
Wednesday, March 30, 6-7pm
Thursday, March 31, 6-7pm
All practices will be held at the Barberton HS outdoor track on the corner of Barber Rd. and Morgan Ave. PLEASE NOTE: it is too difficult to notify everyone timely of a cancellation due to inclement weather. Therefore, if it is too wet, cold, snowy or icy, please determine what is best for your child on whether or not to attend. We will only be practicing for one hour until the weather warms a little. I know many track athletes are involved in other sports/activities, but please try to attend at least two practices a week if possible.
We will follow the above practice schedule in preparation for our first meet on Sunday, April 3. I will provide more information about the meets once the schedule is available. After our first meet, we will change in April to only two practices per week and hopefully be able to extend these to 1 1/2 hours. A new practice schedule will be provided for this.
If there are any parents interested in assisting or helping with track, please let me know. In particular, if anyone has skills for teaching field events, this help would be greatly appreciated. We currently have a track team of 30 athletes, and we are fortunate to have some Barberton High School track athletes willing to assist the team.
If you have not completed your CYO registration form and physical or paid your $40 fee, please do so as soon as possible. You may turn these into me at practice. Additionally, I will have some CYO forms available at the practice, so please see me for one if you have not received this yet.
There is no special equipment needed for track practice except warm clothes currently and comfortable tennis shoes. I look forward to seeing and meeting everyone this week, and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
