Welcome to the Peachtree City Flash 2010 Spring Track Season. We will hold an informational meeting on January 23, 2010 at the Kedron Field House from 1 - 3 PM where we will provide additional information and can answer any questions about the program. In the meantime, however, this informational packet will hopefully provide parents and athletes an overview of the program and what can be expected this season. Within the attached pages you’ll find a lot of information about the program as well a registration form and tentative practice/meet schedule for the full season. Here are a couple of key things to know about the Flash 2010 Spring Track Season: The Flash Spring Track program operates under the Georgia Recreation & Parks Department (GRPA) and competes in events against teams based in Cobb County. Our season will culminate in the State Championship Meet held in Augusta, GA on May 1st and 2nd.
Dates and locations are still being finalized but we expect to compete in six Developmental Meets between March and April with the Cobb County Youth Track League (CCYTL). We will likely host two of these meets at Riley Field in Peachtree City with the remaining meets taking place at various locations in Cobb County. In late April, we will compete in the District 3 Championship Meet where athletes will seek to qualify for the State Championship Meet in Augusta. We have once again volunteered to host the District Meet at Riley Field. A final decision should be made by February. Although, past performance is no guarantee of future results, we fully expect to once again send a large contingent of Flash athletes to Augusta. As many of you know, the Flash has a long-standing history and outstanding reputation within Peachtree City as well as throughout the state of Georgia. This reputation is the direct result of the parents and athletes that have participated in the program over the years. Our goal for this season is to continue building upon this tradition. As a final note to our athletes, the Flash has two guiding principles (and a third principle that we think is pretty important as well). We expect that each athlete will try to always keep these principles in mind: 1. When you walk off the track after every practice or a race, you can say to yourself that you did your best regardless of the result. 2. Regardless of the result, you had fun. 3. Whether during practice or a race, there is NO walking in running.
If we can answer any questions before the informational meeting, please contact us at running@ptcflash.com or (770) 487-2682. On behalf of all the coaches, we look forward to another successful track season. Thank you for your support and participation in the Peachtree City Flash Track Association.
