Any athlete or parent who is interested in learning more about mental preparation in sport, please join us at Lac des Bois this Saturday at 11:45am. This is intended for athletes who have competed or are planning to compete in competitions. The goal is to provide athletes and parents with information and tools to alleviate the anxiety and stress surrounding track meets.

Topics that will be addressed include:

• parental support in sport
• goal setting
• building a team culture
• growth mindset
• visualization

We look forward to seeing athletes AND parents on Saturday!

PS consider bringing a camp chair to be comfortable J

Hello Everyone,

Please note the following changes in the track schedule:

1. Rascals and Junior practice is cancelled Wednesday May 16^th due to the large number of athletes (i.e. junior coaches) attending the High School Zones in Quesnel.
2. Due to the above cancellation, the AGM has been postponed until Wednesday May 23^rd, 630pm at the Lac des Bois fields.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  Please enjoy the great weather with your family!  Remember to attend our AGM in 2 weeks’ time! J

1. Prince George Track and Field Club Annual General Meeting will be held at the Lac des Bois fields on Wednesday, May 16^th at 6:30 pm.  As voting members, your presence is requested.  Elections will be held for:

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. president (candidate named)
                  2. treasurer (candidate named)
                  3. registrar (candidate named)
                  4. secretary (candidate named)
                  5. and a minimum of 4 members-at-large (3 candidates named, 1 nomination still needed).

Sign in to the meeting is required by both our society standing and for grant applications so please stay and add your name to the list.  Bring a camp chair so you don’t have to stand for the 45 minute meeting.

2. Saturday May 5^th – many of our coaches will be out of town competing at the Dylan Armstrong Classic but practices will still be running. However, your cooperation and patience for our young coaches dealing with more athletes on their own would be appreciated J

3. Tuesday/Wednesday May 15^th and 16^th – High School Zones meet in Quesnel.  This is not a “club” meet.  All athletes must be registered through their schools with BC School Sport.  Teachers will have all the information for event registration by now so have your athlete check in with them.

4. Saturday May 19^th – Bring a Friend Day for Rascals – if your rascal is around this long weekend encourage them to drag a buddy out to the track for fun and games!!  There will be regular practices for Juniors and Seniors if your athletes are around

5. Hoodies and Singlets are available at the fields!  $45 for hoodies and $25 for singlets.  Singlets are necessary for competitions and hoodies are just cool to wear!!!

Greetings Everyone! 

Isn’t the weather FABULOUS??!!

Here are a few items to note:

1.       Unfortunately, there will be no parking at the AIMHI lot on Saturdays anymore.  They have a weekly bike sale and there will not be room.  You are free to park in the Lac des Bois school lot as long as they don’t have an event.  The street is always available and might be most convenient.  Sorry about that!  Thank you all for dealing politely and maturely with the last minute inconvenience this past Saturday J

2.       Water Bottles are essential at the track – two on a hot day is a good idea.  Yes, we do have a water carboy at the track c-can but with 160 kids going through on Saturdays it doesn’t go far!

3.       Dylan Armstrong Classic – if you are heading to Kamloops this coming weekend please pack accordingly – take all types of weather gear – you just never know!  SINGLETS ARE A MUST FOR COMPETITORS.  If you don’t have one, please see some one at the track c-can – $25 each if you didn’t pay online.

4.       Jack Brow Memorial – Kelowna June 29^th – July 1^st.  It is the long weekend so book your hotel now if you are attending.   I have attached the notes about a hotel holding by the Okanagan Athletics Club.  Do what works for your family but do it soon!  Remember to check the tentative schedule before you register for events!! http://okac.ca/jack-brow-2017/

5.       VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!  Becky Whitehouse from Quesnel is coordinating the high school zones May 15^th and 16^th.  IF you are heading down to watch your athlete please consider volunteering at the meet.  No experience necessary to hold a tape measure or rake sand.  If Becky gets enough interest, an officials course may be offered before the meet starts.  Please contact Elena (elena@schonewille.ca) ASAP if you are a certified official or an interested parent volunteer for that event.  Thanks so much!!  Many hands make light work!
