Practices for the Week of June 21st

Mon, 06/21/2010 - 11:21am — epingel

After a successful State meet this weekend, the Pella Track Club will be taking the week off. All athletes who competed in the State meet qualified for the Regional meet in at least 1 event. I will be sending out more information to those athletes moving on to Regionals.
I am encouraging athletes to take a short break from the track. Stay active, but let's recharge are our batteries and come back next week ready to prepare for Regionals.

The US Championships are in Des Moines (Drake Stadium) this week (Wednesday through Sunday). This is a great opportunity to see some of the nations top track and field talent. I am sure tickets can still be purchased on-line or at the door.

Practice Schedule for the Week of May 3rd (Tulip Time Week)

Sun, 05/02/2010 - 5:06pm — epingel

Once again outside events affect available practice dates. There are Middle School and High School home meets on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Being a supporter of all track programs (and a Dad to runners in each meet) I will be working at both meets. On Wednesday the annual Tulip Time Klompen Classic is scheduled to run. I encourage all Pella Track Club athletes to participate through running, walking, or some other mode. This is a great mid week workout, even for the sprinters in the club. Finally, Central hosts a college meet on Friday, May 7th.
That leaves us with Thursday, May 6th and Sunday, May 9th. I will start breaking up practice into age groups. Determine your athlete's age group by their birth year. You can fine a breakdown of the USATF age groups on the website and in the Parent's Information.

Location: Central College Outdoor Track

Practice Schedule:

Thursday, May 6th
Bantam and younger from 5:45 - 6:30
Midgets and older from 6:30 - 7:15

Sunday, May 9th
Bantam and younger from 3:00-3:45
Midgets and older from 4:00 - 5:00

Track Club Practice Cancelled for Today, Sunday April 25th

Sun, 04/25/2010 - 11:10am — epingel

Due to the less than favorable weather conditions, we will not have practice this afternoon (Sunday, April 25th). Cold and wet conditions individually can usually be tolerated, but when combined, they make for difficult training. I also consider that there is school tomorrow and getting an athlete sick does not generally help their education :)

I will post practice times for the upcoming week later today.

For you brave souls, getting out and just being active would be sufficient today. No specific workout would neet to happen.
