picture day date correction

February 26th, 2024

Hello Alan,

As we start our full practices with specialty events, it is very important that you get your athletes to practice as much as possible! The specialties have started but will only be offered for each age group on a rotating schedule! Javelin will not start until after daylights saving and we are still in need of a coach for this new event!

We are now closed for new athletes, Please make sure you have uploaded your birth document, ordered a uniform and paid your fee, to stay on the roster, if this is not done by Saturday we may have to drop the athlete.

If you are no longer wanting to stay on the team please let us know.

STORM SPIRIT STORE - WILL CLOSE TODAY Our Storm Merchandise Store will not be open after today!! Items will be delivered the week of March 9th! These items are made to order and non- refundable! Show you team Spirit!!

Every year when the merchandise comes in many parents had wished they had ordered!!

Click here for Storm Store

We have Hoodies, Shirts, Warm ups, spike & duffle bags, Hats, and other fun items, but today is the last day to order!!

Specialty events - Will continue! Not all age groups will have practice for every event, everyday. The athletes will check with their age group coaches for days for their group. This will rotate according to Coaches schedule and all age groups will have at least on day per week to try them.

We will need parent volunteers daily to help open and close the long jump pit, rake the pits, and help athletes while in line at shot put and Long jump! As you know we are an ALL Volunteer team and each coach gives freely of their time!!

Fleet Feet Shoe Store - Will be at the Track on Saturday!!

Please remember to have your child dress warm for the night practices and bring plenty of water! Be on time for pick up.

We ask all Sub - Gremlins and Gremlin parents to stay close to the gate in case your child needs you during practice, many have needed to go to the bathroom and coaches can not take them!!

Spike Shoe and Size

Most groups will start training some days with their spike shoes if they have them, and want to use them. Our track allows 3/16 pyramid only spike sizes.

Fleet Feet will be at picture day with new spike shoes!

All new spikes come with the wrong size spikes and can not be used. We have the correct size spikes at the uniform table. They are $5.00 per set, cash or Venmo. Please do not allow your athlete to wear their spike shoes to practice, they will bring them on the field and the coaches will tell them when to change them. Please make sure their name is on the spike bag as many athletes will have the same shoes and bags!

Sub-Gremlins can not use spike shoes

Gremlins will need to be cleared with coaches to use spike shoes

Remind App for age groups
