Depending on temperature / Thunderstorms we may be inside but we will still practice Athletes are encouraged to have 2 sets of practice clothes, a set for outside and one for inside (At least for the first month of the season)

If an athlete has to miss or come late to practice for an excused reason (Sickness, Doc Appt, help from a teacher) the athlete should inform the coach either in person or via email ahead of time. They need to bring a note from the teacher or parent with them when they return. We will have Saturday practices, typically from 10-12, unless we have a meet that day.

We will practice over Spring Break. A schedule is already posted on the website. If you are going to be out of town over part or all of spring break please email me letting me know. Athletes who are in town are required to be at practice over break.

First step is to Inform a coach See Athletic Trainer Ms. Palermo. Most running injuries require only a few days off or easy running. If injuries warrants a doctor’s appointment than she will tell you so. If a doctor says you cannot practice then you will not practice or participate in meets until cleared by doctor’s note

If you haven't already please create or update your swol account. This information is used by the coaches to be able to contact you quickly if there is an emergency. If you completed this for the fall all you have to do is change the sport to track.
