W E L C O M E

• Students will only attend practice on days they attend school

• If missing a practice for an appointment, or prior commitment, please communicate via email to Mr. McCarthy via email. Not more than 1 practice per week should be missed unless otherwise discussed with the coaches.

• Students should be ready for practice by 2:30 pm and meet at the outdoor basketball courts.

• If you're using the locker rooms to dress out for practice, change quickly, and take all of your belongings out with you or use a lock.

• Practice will go until 4:00 pm - the late bus will be available, students need to sign-up at the beginning of the school day. 

• No practice on Fridays or ER days.

What to bring: 

• Clothes/Layers comfortable and appropriate for running and the weather.  We will run outdoors even if it is cold. My rule is we go out, unless I think it's too cold. So hats/gloves/layers!

• Sneakers appropriate for running distance - Running spikes are not allowed in middle school track.   If you want to get Flats (this is not necessary) you can, but the spikes must be unscrewed.  Practicing in flats is not recommended unless it is done for short distances on the track. If you have shoe related questions, please reach out.

• Water bottle labeled with name.

• A Watch for timing intervals and longer runs. Helps athletes with pacing and personal responsibility.

Uniforms:

• Students will be supplied with a uniform top, there is a number on the back.

• BLACK SHORTS can be your own, if you do not have a pair of black shorts, we can find you a pair. Otherwise, there should be no other colors with the exception of a little bit of white on them, such as a stripe.

Meets:

• Student-athletes are expected to make all meets, unless there is illness, or prior commitment. 

• At minimum, three out of five meets. Please review the schedule and plan, communicate ahead of time.
