Starting in January, practices will be weekdays from 5:00 – 7:00pm. We are considering alternate days for practice (e.g. Mon – Everyone, Tue – Distance, Wed – Sprint/Field, Thu – Distance, Fri – Sprint/Field). You would be expected to attend every practice for which your event group meets at TJ (i.e. in the above example – Distance: Mon, Tue, Thu. Sprint/Field: Mon, Wed, Fri). You would be given workouts to complete on your own for the days your event group does not meet at TJ.  Meets will be outdoors and are scheduled for Saturday afternoons.
