Youngsters - our Middle School Club

We have had a very successful middle school club run by our Pine View XC Club (this is not affiliated with PVHS... it is a separate club).  The goal of the Youngsters is to foster a love of distance running.  We work with athletes of all abilities in the 6th-8th grades.
Unfortunately, this year, our long-time and amazing leader Coach Martha will not be able to coach our club.  So we are looking for a few people who would want to volunteer to be coaches.  We usually meet two times a week (Monday and Thursday) at 3:00p at PVHS.  But these dates (and times) could be flexible with those who would like to come help.  We would welcome any volunteers even if you could come one day a week.  Please email Coach Holt at pineviewxc@gmail.com with any questions, if you would like to help, or know of someone who might like to help.

For our Youngsters program...
We would like to get started this week.  We won't meet this Monday (14th) because it is the first day of school.  So our first practice will be held at PVHS on Thursday at 3:00p.  We will need each athlete's parent to fill out a signed release form, and we will need to have a small fee paid to the club (NOT PVHS) to sign up each athlete for club insurance.  This paperwork will be passed out on Thursday and need to be returned before any Youngster continue running with our club.  We will also have the optional uniforms for sale that Youngsters can wear to races and practice.  We will have a full schedule for club races coming soon, but our first opportunity to race will be at the Desert Relays on Friday - see the Week 11 informational post.
