Important Info for First Meet

Our first meet is just a week away! Here is some important information for you to know:

1. Concessions: The concession stand is our team fund-raiser. Each family supplies one package of individually wrapped items (as categorized below), for the stand, and parent volunteers sell them during the meets. For this first meet, those who practice on Monday and Wednesday will be supplying the food . (Tues,Thurs will supply for the 2nd meet, and we will use what's left for the 3rd). The money we make from the concessions pays for the end-of-season awards and refreshments. Please bring your item to practice this week. I will have a bin there to put them in. If you have more than one child on the team, just choose one item to bring.
Under 5:Package of individually wrapped sweet items (M&M's , Skittles, Granola Bars, Cookies, Etc).
6-7: Package of individually wrapped single serving chips
8-12 Boys: Crackers
8-12 Girls: Gatorades, Soft-drinks

2. Events: Each athlete may participate in 3 individual track events, 1 relay, and 2 field events. Some of the youngest participants may not be ready to do that many events at the first meet, which is fine. If your child has preferences for which events he/she wants to do, be sure to let their coach know at the first practice this week. I plan to have the event schedule ready with lane assignments made by mid-week. Here is the list of available events:
1600m: All Ages
4x100m relay: All Ages (though many 3-4 yr olds may not be ready for this)

50yd: 8 and under
100m: All ages
800m: All ages (though few under 8 are ready by the first meet for this event)
