Week of June 4-9 (Week 1)

WELCOME or WELCOME BACK!  It's XC time.  Practice will start Monday, June 4th at 7:00a at Washington Elementary.  For this week, all practices will start at 7:00 and run through about 8:30 (with the exception of Tuesday, which will be explained below).  On Monday through Thursday we will meet Washington Elem. and then on Friday we will meet at Sullivan Park.

Tuesday - Youth Summer Running Club: On most Tuesday's throughout the summer (starting this week), we host our Youth Summer Running Club.  This is run by you, the athletes.  You are the coaches to the youth (K-8th grade).  We will discuss the details at practice on Monday and Tuesday, but know that being to Running Club is an expectation of our team.  Please plan on being at practice until 10:00a on Tuesdays to help with Running Club.

registermyathlete: It is very important that each of you complete your registermyathlete (to do this, just go to registermyathlete.com and either login or create an account).  This is where you and a guardian will sign off all of your paperwork.

Physical: It is required that every athlete get a physical every year.  Some of you got your physicals at the very end of this past school year at PVHS.  If so, great.  If not, you need to get your physical schedule.  You can print the paperwork off of the UHSAA website.  This MUST be schedule soon, and take place in the next two weeks.

Athletes will not be able to participate without completion of registermyathlete and having a current physical on file at PVHS

Final Surge: We will be using finalsurge.com for our training log this season.  Each athlete needs to go online and create an account.  Then please share the email used to create the account with Coach Holt so you can be invited to be added to the team account.  This is a great tool for tracking your progress.  The app makes tracking your runs very quick and easy.

Remind: We use the remind app for all our PVXC communication.  Please join us by texting the code @a24b37 to the number 81010. Or sign up online or using the Remind app with the same code.

Insta and Twitter: Here's where you go for great pics, articles, quotes, and more... @pvxctrack

And we always like to end with a thought of some kind... This Week's Thought: "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." - Henry Ford
This first week of practice is the beginning... Let's get tons of people out; friends, classmates, that one kid who seemed interested that one time, anyone.  Because the more people we can get involved in this great thing we do, the greater we are going to be as we "work... together [toward] success."
