IMPORTANT REGISTRATION NOTE FOR PARENTS:
Valley Royals will be covering the cost of 3 individual events per VR athlete. Parents MUST email Christa at [email protected] by July 5th midnight with:
- JD athlete’s name
- up to 3 events they would like to be registered in
If the club pays for an athlete’s events and the athlete does not compete in all three events, the parent will be responsible for reimbursing the club for that amount paid.
If parents want their child in more than 3 events, they can go ahead and register them on their own for the additional events:
Once you email Christa and she has registered your child, you will get a message confirming she has received your email. If you do not receive a message from her, then assume she has not received it.
JOIN A 4X100M RELAY FOR THE MEET??
We would like to enter some relay teams in this meet. The 4 X 100m will be on Saturday and the Medley Relay will be on Sunday. Please let Christa know if you would like your child to be on a relay team by July 5th midnight. Please send your child’s full name, DOB, and which relay(s) you are interested in.
REMEMBER
Registration deadline for the three events through Valley Royals is midnight on July 5th.
Practice Location Change
JDs and Scott’s group will relocate to Clearbrook Park for training for the remainder of the week.
