Weston Junior Striders
Weston, Florida
We will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays for the first few weeks. We meet at Cypress Bay High School track from 5:30 to 6:30. Toward the end of February we will switch from Wednesdays to Fridays for about 6 weeks or so, to accommodate the high school track schedule. (Our helpers are on the track team and we go to their meets, too). When their regular season is over we will switch back to Wednesdays. Mondays remain the same all year.
We will not meet on President's Day -- February 15.
Athletes need to wear running shoes and bring a WATER BOTTLE preferably labeled and remember to take your water bottle home after practice! Also some kids may want to bring a towwel to use during the strength and stretching exercises at the end of each practice.
MEET SCHEDULE
There are age group track meets held around South Florida starting in the middle of March. They are generally held on Saturdays and tend to last all day due to the large number of participants. Age groups are broken into two-year increments according to birth year (ie. those born in 1996 & 97 compete with each other regardless of school grade or whether or not a child has had his/her birthday yet this year). We try to particpate in 2 or 3 of these meets. In addition, we usually start with an intra-squad meet either on a Friday night or Saturday morning where we divide ourselves into two teams and give the kids a real meet feel in a much less competitive atmosphere. We also have a parent relay! This has been a lot of fun in the past.
Next meet will be the intra-squad meet to be held on Saturday, April 10th, at Cypress Bay H.S.
