Happy last week of Summer! Before the craziness of the week really picks up, I wanted to pass along some important information to get you to next week, and the first days of school. Please read carefully:
1) Uniforms
Team Uniforms are a requirement to run in meets (races). I have worked hard to keep our uniforms affordable and have also committed to keeping our design the same for several years, so that team members can purchase their own uniform and feel confident they can use it for multiple years. Having said that, no team member is required to purchase their own uniform. If you cannot afford your own uniform, one will be loaned to you and you will need to return it at the end of the season. This means you will likely be wearing a uniform that has been worn by someone else. If possible, I would highly encourage each athlete to try and purchase their own uniform that they can put their name on the tag, take care of it, and have it as a memento of their FC XC career when they graduate. Please note that the shorts have changed slightly this year, and I believe they are a bit nicer than last year's.
Warmups are completely optional - the pullover will look like last year's with a "FC" on the left chest, the FC "Tiger" logo on the back, along with the lettering "Creek XC". Please note the order form doesn't show the entire design. The warm-up bottoms are great training pants and nice to have a few pairs of.

FCHS Registration is set for this Thursday, August 8th. We will have a normal practice that morning, and I will be looking for volunteers willing to hang around and help the team recruit afterwards. Typically, at registration we will have athletics/sports/club tables set up in the small gym. Although I can man the table, it helps to have a few runners out and about talking with incoming students. I'd love for a few of you to help recruit for our program!
3) Friday
There will be no "official" practice on Friday, as I am going to be out of town to get in that last little bit of summer before the year starts. Having said that, you are all now excellent Ultimate Frisbee players, and I'd be happy to leave you the discs and cones if you'd like.
4) Saturday - FREE 2 Mile Hoka Time Trial
Coach Ames from Male is hosting a small pre-season meet THIS SATURDAY at 8am at Our Track (Fern Creek). This is completely free and will go a long ways towards determining who might be paired with whom for our first race. Also, it's a great chance to see where you are at conditioning wise at the end of summer! I do need to know ahead of time who will be participating.
5) Monday, August 12th - Parent/Athlete Meeting 5:30 in my Room
