Parent Information & Update

Our first meet will be held on Wednesday, September 5th at 5:00pm. For those parents who are new to Grady XC, the meets are held at Grant Park in the field behind the baseball fields. Parking can be a bit tight in the lot at the end of the park, but there is usually ample parking on the street (behind the school buses on Park Ave.) If you come to watch the meet on September 5th, please remember that that Mr. Cramer has asked that we allow the team to warm-up together and get their "game on" for the meet without interruption.

The coaches have asked that we (parents) provide snacks for runners after the weekly City Meets to include water, fresh fruit and healthy treats like bagels, muffins, granola bars, etc. We will be using VolunteerSpot again this year to coordinate the snack schedule. Look for an email invitation to VolunteerSpot in your email box immediately following this email. If you do not receive that email, you can visit http://www.volunteerspot.com/login/entry/344922878067 to sign in. You will notice that there are no sign-ups for Saturday invitationals, Regional or State meets; that is because traditionally we have asked that ALL runners bring a snack of their choosing to the meets to share with everyone. If you are a student receiving team emails, please send forward a copy to your parent(s).

Physical forms and copies of your runner’s insurance cards are past due. If your student is truly interested in participating in the Grady XC team, these forms must be returned immediately.

We look forward to a great XC season! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
