Q: What are the practice dates?
A: There is a parent information and orientation meeting on Monday June 6th at Central High School's entrance commons, 6-7pm. Practices begin the following day, June 7th, and the last practice is on July 21st. Practices vary by day depending on age group and category... see complete calendar and event schedule here: www.lacrossetrackclub.org

Q: What are the times of the practices?
A: All practices begin at 6:00 pm and end at 7:15 pm.

Q: What should my youth athlete wear to practices?
A: Something comfortable. Shoes appropriate for physical activity are required (no sandals/flip-flops!)

Q: I noticed some dates on the practice calendar where there are no practices. Why?
A: The UW-L track facility is a busy place and occasionally there are conflicts that prevent use of the track for our practices.

Q: Is attendance at scheduled practices mandatory?
A: No! Attendance is flexible. If you have to miss, no problem. (And there is no need to notify a coach, we don't take attendance.)

Q: Is this an "elite" camp?
A: No... Although we do have some very talented athletes every year, we welcome youth athletes of all ability levels.

Q: Is this a "feeder" program for the La Crosse school system?
A: No... Youth athletes from any school district may participate.

Q: Are any track meets included in the registration fee?
A: Athletes ages 6-14 can compete in three mini-meets with other area track programs (athletes ages 15-16 also have the option for competition in the exhibition category, without awards.) There are no extra fees for participants (or spectators) for these Friday morning meets. Meet dates are 6/24, 7/15 and 7/22.

Q: If I have three kids who want to participate, can I "batch register" all three of my kids at once?
A: Unfortunately, no. Each will need to be registered separately.

Q: My child isn't quite sure about this. Can we come to a practice to see how things go before we commit and pay the registration fee?
A: Visitors are always welcome at practices, and a one-day trial practice is possible if the parent prints and signs the waiver/release form (available at www.lacrossetrackclub.org) and brings it to practice. But PLEASE NOTE that there are registration caps for each camp session this year, to ensure an adequate coach:athlete ratio. Therefore, it is possible that all spots in one or more sessions may be filled before the season even begins.
