TRACK INFO

Information from our team meeting on December 3rd is below.  Click here to download the handouts.

Dear Lady Bees,

The 2013 Track and Field season is right around the corner, and it is time to start thinking about the season.  Indoor track provides a great opportunity for you to prepare for the outdoor season as well as challenge yourself at some meets (without having to battle the winter elements).

Let’s BEE ready…BEE fit….BEE the BEST!

We will begin Winter/Indoor track practice on Wednesday, December 5, 2012. 

Practices will be Mondays & Wednesdays from Dec. 5^th- Jan 31^st.  We will practice additional days beginning in Feb.

Mondays & Wednesdays:  3:30-5:00 @ High School

*  Distance Runners (check website for alternate practice locations and some weekend group runs at the Towpath)

*  There will be some additional practices on Tuesday nights at the University of Akron Check the website/Google calendar for all activities!  The calendar is located on the top of the website….”Calendar of Events”.  There is a small fee for this that athletes are responsible for and you must arrange your own transportation.

*  Cross training at Brecksville Rec:  You can use the pool for $2.00 available times TBA.  Spinning Classes 6:30 PM on Tuesday/Thursdays.

Completed physical forms must be on hand before any student is permitted to participate. 

NO PHYSICAL/MEDICAL FORM = NO PRACTICE!

Practices will be outside as much as possible so dress for the weather (hats, gloves, pants, etc.) but if it is unsafe to be outside we WILL still have practice but move indoors.  Be prepared….we will run in the cold and snow!

Athletes are required to participate in practices and both meets.  If for some reason you cannot attend a practice or a meet, you must let Coach Gruskiewicz know in advance.  List of indoor meets will be online by December 20^th. 

               

FYI…. The first day of OUTDOOR practice (Mon-Fri) will begin March 11th.

Please call or email me if you have any questions. I am very excited about this season and I hope that you are too!
