Below is a copy of the slides Coach Draughon used as an outline for the meeting.

Pay attention to the schedule.  2/14 is an important team time trial meet.  The first week of Spring Break, ALL track athletes need to be here for competing.  The second week of Spring Break is a great time for a vacation UNLESS athletes have qualified for the Arcadia Invitational.

Parents need to handle the following ASAP:

1. Handle athletic clearance. - list of cleared athletes below
2. Sign Season Parent Contract - found below
3. Pay $300 Fair Share - PayPal code below
4. Get warmups unless athletes already have them.  Store closes 1/21.
5. Athletes need appropriate shoes for training and competing.

FAQ Answers:

1. Are there tryouts and can athletes be cut from the roster?  We do have tryouts, but our intention is to find a spot for each athlete who shows up and attends practices regularly, follows coach instructions, and demonstrates they have a coachable attitude and can be a positive member of a team.
2. When will practices be during season?  Mostly, we practice M/T/Th/F 4-6 PM.  Wednesdays, different event groups have slightly different times.  Mostly practices are 3-5 PM or 4-6 PM on Wednesdays.  Distance practices at 6:00 or 6:30 AM on Wednesdays.  Some select groups have practices at different times on other days, but those do not affect the majority of athletes. 
3. Can an athlete start practice without athletic clearance or the Parent Contract?  No - An athlete must have clearance and a signed parent contract on file to start the season.  Parents also have to have paid the fair share or had a conversation with PSG about the fair share so that we have funding to start practices.
