Greetings Families!
Thank you so much for getting your Athletes to last weeks Time Trials! This was the best attendance for Time Trials in the History of program as we were able to capture the lion share of the raw times for the Athletes in the various events. Well done Parents and Coaches!!!
Sunday will we have our 1st meet of the 2015-2016 the season at the Amory in NYC. We have 36 Athletes attending this event! Again this is another record for The FLYERS Indoor program of Athletes as related to attendance at this Holiday Invitational!!!
This week will consist of “2 Days” of practice this week and a Family Holiday Celebration Pajama Movie Night on Friday (instead of Thursday practice). We will be having a very focused and technical practice week. Monday and Wednesday will be strenuous practice days.
On Monday we will be dividing the Athletes into their Classification of Sprinter or Distance Runner. In addition, we will be assigning Relay Team Participants. IF YOUR ATHLETE IS ON A RELAY TEAM and is competing at the Meet on Sunday, THEY MUST BE AT THE MEET ON SUNDAY–NO EXCUSES BECAUSE WE NEED 4 TO RUN THE RELAY TEAM. ALSO THEY MUST BE DRESSED THE FLYERS COMPETITIVE UNIFORM!!! NO ADDITIONAL GARMENTS CAN BE WORN UNDER THE SINGLET TOP OR THE UNIFORM SHORTS (i.e. running leggings or running pants) BECAUSE THE RELAY TEAM WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
Practice group levels of Bronze, Silver and Gold for development purposes will be assigned MONDAY as well. How the practice groups were assigned was based on the following criteria:
Please be advised that the practice group assignment was based on research we have done for this season, historical data and coaching experience. Please be aware that just because an Athlete starts off in one group does NOT mean that he/she will stay in this group for the season. Athletes will be moved up or down based on how he/she develops or based on developmental need as observed by the Coaches and/or based on performance at any given meet.

Practice group levels of Bronze, Silver and Gold for development purposes will be assigned MONDAY as well. How the practice groups were assigned was based on the following criteria:
- Bronze: Anyone new to the FLYERS Indoor program (in some cases regardless of time trial results)/ time results that need a lot of guidance/technical development.
- Silver: Younger in age as related to the FLYERS Team/times that are close to being competitive in their age group but not yet there/those that maybe in a new event this season that they seemed to be competitive in and need development in that event…
- Gold: Competitive in age group and/or competitive overall in an event(s) regardless of age…
