MCS Harrier

Practice
(7/31/09) First day of practice: Our first official day of practice is Tuesday, August 4, 2009. We will meet promptly at 6:30 p.m. All athletes and at least one parent should be present as we will have a short orientation, have parents fill out emergency contact data sheets and other import paperwork, and turn in physicals. The coaches will be available to answer questions. The kids will stretch and then do a brief workout after the orientation. We will have pizza and drinks available for the kids and parents at approximately 7:30 p.m. Please make sure that your kids get a snack as they should not eat anything after 5:00 on that day as we will be running before we have pizza at 7:30.

Practice Info after the start of school
(7/31/09) Starting Thursday, August 20th, practice will be after school at MCS from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of each week thereafter. Coach Hull and Coach Carlile will pick up the student athletes from the teacher lines after school. Parents will pick up their kids at 4:30 p.m. While we will not have practice on Wednesdays and Fridays, I am asking that the kids do practice on their own/with your supervision on Saturdays. Saturday runs should range from 1.5 to 2.5 miles based on age and ability.

T-Shirts & Uniforms
(7/31/09) T-Shirts and Uniforms have been ordered and will arrive on approximately August 17th. Every athlete will receive a t-shirt to keep as their own; however, the uniforms will be signed out for by the parents. Uniforms must be kept in good condition and only used for meets. Student athletes will return the uniforms at the end of the season. We have ordered an extra amount of t-shirts that will be available for purchase by parents at a cost of $16 per shirt.

Picture Day
(7/31/09) Team and individual pictures will be taken on August 20th. A form with individual package prices will be provided during orientation on August 4th and on the day that the pictures will be taken. The kids will be in their team uniforms.
