3. Team Communication- Email We send out a weekly update by email. Email Coach Caton all email addresses that your family would like to receive emails. catonmike@msn.com

4. Team Communication- Text During the week, partly due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances, and because our athletes don’t read email, we use texting. To get on the list: Text Coach Caton at 719-351-7556 Include your name Parents and athletes can both be included in this group text. FYI: parents often request this, and then regret it due the frequency of texts

6. I am attempting to coordinate between CSCS and The Springs Health & Fitness to use the TSHF facility for bad weather days and possibly T-Th strength days. We’ll keep you informed of this possibility.

7. Meet Calendar The next two slides detail the meet calendar. Four things to know: 1.Weather will most likely modify this. Varsity meets are generally rescheduled, weekday meets are generally not. 2.Your place on either team can change from meet to meet depending on several factors. We announce the rosters as early as possible for your planning. 3.Because there are fewer JV meets this year, I have combined the schedules. 3/15, 4/5 and 4/15 are primarily JV meets. I will do my best to get athletes into as many other meets as possible. 4.Varsity athletes may not compete at all meets – there are so many factors that influence these decisions, just trust we know what we are doing. Contact us if you have any questions.

9. Pasta Parties One of the highlights of the track season is pasta parties. A pasta party is a team social the day before a meet that includes eating pasta-duh. Athletes are responsible for covering the cost for these parties. Rather than hassling with money collections at each party, athletes each pay $15 at the beginning of the season to share the cost for all parties. The money is then disbursed to the party hosts to buy food. Cash only, please. (Otherwise, we have an accounting hassle we have to go through with CSCS.)

10. Pasta Parties Additionally, we are looking for families to host parties. A large house with options-tables for cards games, video games, game tables, etc. are best for this. It is common for families to join forces on the efforts. Because the athletes can’t get enough of these, any parent(s) can host one the evening before any weekend meet. As soon as I secure a team parent who will organize them for me, you can contact them to coordinate. Once we know how many parties we’ll have, athletes will pay $3/party.
