Coach's Corner

 

This page is from the head coach to everyone.
It will be updated periodically for athletes, parents and volunteers.


We are not a “Travel Team” even though we will go to local away meets. Youth athletes of any ability may participate. The athletes are FIRST and winning comes second. The primary focus is on having FUN. We plan to teach and train the athletes in well defined, short increments (2-week intervals). Each athlete will progress at their own pace. The ideal training plan is the following, but will surely have weather and scheduling problems. We will do our best to follow it.

Early April - Conditioning/baseline times and distances (basically getting in shape)
Mid April - Introduction to field events and specific running events
Early May - Teach and training each athlete for his/her specific events and set relay teams.
Mid May - Add more technical aspects of events for each athlete.
Early June – Refine technical aspects of events for athletes.
