With summer winding down, it's time again to welcome you to another XC season!!  I am excited to kick the 2017 season off with you and your athletes.
 
The parent meeting is  tomorrow night July 25th, and I want to encourage all of you to attend.  Whether you've been a part of the team for years or this is your first year. 
This year more than ever, we need your help and I will be sharing some important information and encouraging each of you to jump in all the way.
 
I am looking for more parents to commit to running at each practice, and I need more coaches.
You don't need to worry, I'll provide the training, so don't let inexperience be the reason you don't get involved.
 
Bottom line, we have the most amazing youth sports team in the valley and arguably the country.  It hasn't gotten to this point, nor will it continue, without a team effort from amazing parents. So, I look forward to seeing each of you tomorrow night, right?  Yep, I thought I heard you say, Heck Yes we'll be there!!!
 
I appreciate the support, Coach Alan and Elaine, appreciate the support, and with over 180 athletes, our kids appreciate the support!
 
If you are interested in coaching, there will be a short meeting following the main meeting. This includes warm up coaches, through lead coaches.  Anyone who wants to at some point instruct the athletes and not just run with them.

Thank you and I'll see you  tomorrow night.
