The Waltham Track Club's upcoming Winter Program is still a work in progress, but we have secured some indoor and outdoor training sites that will allow us to run a Winter Program this year.
Currently, we have an alternative plan to provide some indoor program dates at Brandeis University in December and January, while filling in other dates at the outdoor track in Waltham and some at the running path at Cornelia Warren Field in Waltham. Any outdoor sessions will obviously be determined by weather and conditions week to week.
Brandeis is located at 415 South St in Waltham and Leary Field is at GPS 19 Athletic Field Rd in Waltham
PARENT COACHES NEEDED!!
The key to how many sessions we can offer and how many members we can accept, will be based on how many parents will able to assist with coaching - no experience is necessary - we will teach you everything you need to know. Please reply back ASAP if you are able to help with coaching and we will notify you as to when our coaching classes will be held. The actual dates and set up of practices will totally be dependent upon the number of coaches we have available.
The Club's Board of Director's recently decided that it would be more efficient to open a non-binding registration for our Winter Program to those who might be interested in the program. No fees would be collected at this time, but registration spots would be reserved for those who were registered. When we are able to actually design a program, registered members would be informed about the program specifics and would have the opportunity to officially opt in or opt out, depending upon whether the program and/or scheduling fit a member's needs. By opening registrations now, we would be able implement a program right a way, saving several weeks having to register members at a later date. Members would then pay their dues via cash or check once the program begins. Fees would mostly likely be $150 for a first family member and an additional $25 for each additional family sibling. Scholarship waivers will be available, but will need to be approved in advance.
Space will be limited, so early registration is strongly encouraged. Membership acceptance will be based on first come, first served, starting with older age groups and working down to younger ages. Age groups are 8-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-18 for our high school division.
Here is our current plan.
- To offer some sessions at the outdoor track in Waltham in mid November through early December(weather and conditions permitting) . These sessions would be on Sunday afternoons or early evening; Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 6:00 (under the stadium lights).
- Sessions at Brandeis University will be held on the following dates 6:00-8:00 p.m:
Monday, December 20 Tuesday, December 21
Wednesday, December 22 Thursday, December 23 Monday, December 27 Thursday, December 29 Tuesday, January 4 Wednesday, January 5 Thursday, January 6
Sunday, January 9 - YOUTH TRACK MEET at Wheaton College
Monday, January 10 Tuesday, January 11 Wednesday, January 12 Thursday, January 13 Sunday, January 23 - TRACK MEET at Wheaton College
Additional dates at the outdoor track will be planned through the end of January and mid February, again on Sundays through Thursdays, assuming that we have coaches to fill the dates..
