Parents
Talk to your child about what they want out of Running Club (Examples: social time with friends, to become a faster runner, to build endurance). This will allow us to separate the children according o their expectations.
Provide feedback so that we can improve the club both for you and your child/children. Advise coaches of any injuries or potential injuries or health issues.
If you would like to come and use this as your exercise time with your child/children, please do. We always need extra adults on the field to provide encouragement to the children. We also need non-exercising adults to help sign children in and out and log in their mileage totals.
