Welcome to Warriors Track & Field! For many of you this is your first experience with track and field. Here's what to expect the first day and first few weeks of practice. The first day of practice is Wednesday Feb 2nd. Practice will be held at COC and begins at 6pm sharp so please come 5-10 mins early to allow for parking etc.  Most parents park in LOT 7 (see COC map) and we enter from the VISITOR side gate using "cougar walk."

On the first day of practice parents and athletes will meet on the field for a quick message from our directors.  Bantams and older age divisions may be dropped off for practice. Gremlin parents please note that a parent or guardian is required to stay for the entire practice. Parents just be mindful that practices could run short in the first few weeks. Please arrive at 7:15pm to pick up your athlete from practice in the beginning of the season. Also be mindful of the weather. If rain is in the forecast practices may end early and we hate for your child to wait in the rain. In the case of early practice dismissal for any reason we will communicate with parents via the Sports Engine app. To download the Sport Engine app on your cell phone please see the home page and click on "User Guide to Help Parents with the New App and Website" for directions.

The first few weeks your athlete WILL be sore. The coaches will be doing a lot of conditioning exercises with your runners as well as teaching them drills and stretches which will probably be new to them. You might not see a lot of running in the first couple weeks. The coaches will ease your athlete into running more and more each week. Drills and warmups are extremely important in the beginning of the season so be patient and encourage your child to stick with it and see the payoffs at their first meet!
