Greetings Parents and Athletes, It’s about time to begin a new Fort Collins Track Club USA Track & Field outdoor season! Congratulations to all the athletes on a great season both indoors and outdoors in 2009 and I look forward to more of the same in 2010. We are having a parents meeting and registration on Monday, May 10th at 7:30 p.m. at the Harmony Library meeting room. The Harmony Library is located at Harmony and Shields on the Front Range Community College Campus. The library is at the west end of the campus. It is important that all athletes and their parents attend this meeting so we can determine the correct sizes for the uniforms. Please read the information describing the program, then download a registration form, liability waiver, and a merchandise order form for each athlete. Please bring the forms and a copy of each athletes birth certificate to the registration meeting. The registration fee for the 2010 outdoor season is $215.00 with a 20 percent discount for each additional family member. Your club registration includes uniform, USAT&F membership for 2010, all meet entry fees, the use of the practice facility during scheduled practice times, and friendly coaches. If you cannot attend the parents meeting, please mail your registration and order form to: FCTC, 1231 Westwood Drive, Windsor, CO 80550. Every athlete will receive competition shorts and singlet with club registration. If you prefer other uniform choices (speedsuits, etc.), they must be purchased separately. There is an order form for uniforms, warm-ups, and other garments if you choose to purchase them. We still have a good supply of used warm-ups in excellent condition for sale at a significant discount. Please bring your orders to the meeting on May 10th so you can have your order filled in time for the season. This includes all junior high and high school athletes. If parents or siblings would like to order a t-shirt, sweatshirt, etc. they should be included on the same order form. We will have samples of items at the meeting. We have responsibility for working three meets this year; the Fort Collins Track Club Invitational on June 12, the Colorado Junior Olympic Championships on June 19-20 and the Region X Junior Olympic Championships July 10-11. Parents, we will need a lot of volunteers for these meets. Please sign up on the volunteer sign up sheets. No experience needed!! I look forward to seeing all of you on May 10th. Best regards, Coach Markham
