Hershey Track and Field
I have received word on the Hershey Track and Field program several of our athletes participated in last year. It is for youth turning 9 this year through age 14. For info on specific events involved go to http://www.hersheystrackandfield.com/index.aspx
The local, state-qualifying meet will be held at Lawson Field in Birmingham on May 8. The top 2 in each race advance to state which is the following weekend in Greenville, AL. I will hold additional practices the weeks before those meets for those interested in competing. Participation in these meets is typically less than $10 and is a good opportunity to compete with other youth around the area/state.
If you are interested in participating in this program, let me know within the next couple of weeks.

2nd Meet Coming Up!
Well, we have been wishing for warmer weather, and by golly, we got it! I have seen some excellent running in the heat this week, and I'm sure it will pay off at our next meet. Be sure to bring water to practice every time!
Group coaches will be filling names into races for the meet over the next few days, so be sure to let them know at your next practice if you have specific preferences of what events you would like your child to be in.
Our Tuesday, Thursday group will be providing concessions for this meet. To keep my garage from getting too full of tempting snacks, we will just have the younger groups from Tues/Thurs bring concessions for this meet, and have the older groups from Tues,Thurs bring to the last meet. If you have more than one child, you only need to bring one item. Below is the breakdown of what we need from whom:
5 and under girls: cookies (like oreos, nutter-butters, etc) or chips
5 and under boys: non-chocolate candy (like sour straws, sourpatches, blow-pops, etc)
6 year olds: water or chips
7 year olds: Soda
I will be collecting these items at practice next week. Our concession stand did well last week--thanks for your support. The kids are all working so hard, it will be so nice to be able to have nice awards at the end of the season for them!
