High Schoolers can and will participate in the meet. Please let me know as soon as possible if your high schooler will be competing in Flagstaff.
 
DO NOT CALL THE HOTEL TO RESERVE - Please send me an email.  You will be notified after the rooming list is complete when you can call.  All we obtained a discount and are under contract to use a certain number of rooms.  If you sign up for a room, please do not call and cancel or even worst just not show up because the team will be liable.  I need to know of all changes and/or decisions regarding rooms whether the room is confirmed on your credit card or not.

Please email us at azcheetahs@yahoo.com if you will need a room for this meet.  I need to know the following:

 

Your Name, Arrival Date, Departure date, Phone Number, Child's Name

 

If you are attending, but do not need a hotel room, please let me know via email.

 

If you are sharing a room I need to know. 

If you would like to share a room please let me know that as well as there may be someone else that wants to share as well.
  

 
 
 

Practice
Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays at 5:30 (Some Wednesdays and Saturdays but you will be notified ahead of time)

I have sent out the days that practice is on the field.  There is practice this Saturday at 8am until approximately 10am.
 
Please remember to pick up water bottles and put them in the trash and make sure you have all your clothing, shoes and water containers.  If we could get parents to help with policing the area for water bottles and clothing left behind after practice that would be great.

When there is practice on the field behind the pool, everyone should park in the lot close to the locker room/basketball gym (in front of the pool).  We DO NOT want anyone parking off Chandler Blvd.  We need to know that all kids are being picked up in that area.  We do not want to see any kids going that way. We will call them back and have them going out with us.  Even if you are at practice.  It gets confusing seeing kids run that way and it is too dark to see who they are with.


Soreness
All muscles with aches, tightness, heaviness, and slight pain  
Please note that if your kids are complaining about being sore this is normal.  Everyone is sore in the beginning of the season because they are working muscles that have not been worked.  Even our seasoned athletes and those that participate in other sports get sore in the beginning.  Drink plenty of water (drink more than you are drinking), stretch at home and ice.  You can take ibuprofen if necessary.  The soreness will go away as you get into shape.


Text Alerts
 
Please sign up for text alerts to stay up to date with last minute changes.  All you have to do is send text that says "azcheetahs" to 84483.


Payment!
We need payment ASAP

Every child should have $150 on the books.  We are ordering uniforms and t-shirts this week and if you have not spoken to us regarding payment we will not order them a uniform.  Please let us know if you cannot pay now advising us when you can pay and how the remainder will be paid.  


Paperwork!!!
Paperwork is Mandatory for anyone practicing

Please turn in your paperwork and payment. If we do not have paperwork, your child is not covered under our insurance. Even if you have not made a payment, we need paperwork.

Welcome to the 2017 Track Season

Posted by Arizona Cheetahs at Jan 16, 2017 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )
Welcome to the Arizona Cheetahs Track Club!
Hello and Welcome,  

Thank you for choosing the Arizona Cheetahs for the 2017 Track Season.  It was really good seeing all the old Cheetahs and meeting the new additions to the Cheetah family.  We will do our best to give your child what they need for success.  As most know practice is every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 unless you are advised otherwise.

I will be sending several informative emails so please read them all.

We need to order uniforms and t-shirts so if you have not provided sizes please do so via email ASAP.  Uniforms are a form fitting compression material.

With that said if you have not made a payment your child will not be ordered a uniform unless you have spoken to us regarding payment.  Every child needs something on the books ASAP.
 
Please note that we need to have paperwork on every child that is practicing - Even if they are training only and even if you have not paid any fees.  PLEASE TURN IN PAPERWORK
 
PLEASE BE AWARE THE NIGHTS WILL BE COLD AND ALL ATHLETES NEED TO DRESS WARM AND KEEP THEIR CLOTHING ON ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY START TO GET WARM.  As always please drink lots of water.
 
Also, make sure your child leaves with ALL the clothing, shoes and bags they came with.  Please please please make it a habit of asking them if they have their stuff when they get in the car.  We have already started collecting clothing from the clinic.

When leaving practice please also be sure to pick up water bottles, paper, etc. when leaving.
