The first practice will be on Monday, March 2nd, from 4:00-6:00 PM. Athletes will begin in the Weight Room at RKA and then run to Forest Park. Athletes will return to RKA for pickup at 6:00 PM.
There will be a mandatory athlete and parent/guardian meeting after the first practice on Monday, March 2nd, from 6:00-6:30 PM in the Learning Commons. This will be the opportunity for families to meet our new coaching staff and understand their expectations and logistics for this season.
Communication--
All athletes and at least one parent/guardian must be in the SportsYou chat used for communication between coaches, athletes, and families. Because practices will be off campus, communication must be quick and efficient in one place. If you have not already, you will need to download the SportsYou App and use the team-specific access code to join the Track & Field chat. You will need to email Coach Betts for the code.
