Indoor Track & Field Training 2020-21

Hi athletes and parents!

Well, it has been quite the task to get the details together for our indoor training this year, but we have finally managed to make it happen! All training will be at the U of M Fieldhouse (1800 University Ave. SE) this year. We will be required to follow the COVID rules of the facility so in addition to all equipment being sanitized before and after practice, we will be practicing social distancing and all athletes will have to wear masks during the entire practice. (Because of this fact, I have removed the running workout portion that we used to do the last 20ish minutes of practice each week). Please see details below:

Dates: Every Sunday (18) from November 8-March 21st (EXCEPT 12/20 & 12/27)
Times/Cost: Long/Triple Jump 10:45am-12:15pm, $55/day or $900 for all 18 dates
Sprints/Hurdles 12:15-1:45pm, $55/day or $900 for all 18 dates
All Event Combo 10:45am-1:45pm, $85/day or $1350 for all 18 dates

To register, please email me at [email protected] with the dates you would like to attend. Preferred payment is Venmo (-Johnson-1). Please contact me if it doesn’t work for you to pay that way and we will figure something else out. Note: All money will be refunded if the state and the University are shut down for COVID.

*For insurance purposes, athletes will need to be registered with USA Track & Field again under the club name Falcon Track.
