Hello Everyone!
We are one week away from the end of TARC and the start of camp and nearing the 2016 XC season. I am eager to head to camp and start the season with the boys. It should be a fun two weeks ahead for everyone. I am sending an email to clarify and hopefully answer some questions you might have about the upcoming season.

Team/Parent Meeting August 10th @ 5PM
Where: TCW Athletic Common Area
We will discuss team philosophy, expectations, goals, meet schedule, etc.
Please bring physical form and signed expectation form found in the Informational Packet that I have attached in this email.
XC Warm-Ups and Apparel
Each runner is responsible for purchasing a warm-up jacket, pant, and t-shirt for them to keep.
The cost of the jacket is $53.50 and pant is $33.50. The total cost is $87. Please bring a check made out to TC West Boys Cross Country Boosters for $87 to the team/parent meeting on August 10th. The t-shirt will need to be purchased ASAP on our XC store. You can find the store HERE or on our website under the "Media + Downloads" tab. The shirt that NEEDS to be ordered is the ADIDAS CLIMATLITE Tee Stacked Logo in Heather Grey. These t-shirts will be worn at school on the days we have meets. Feel free to order any other apparel, but no other items are required. Store items will ship about a month after store closes which will be August 16th.
Pasta Night/Snack Sign Up
I have created a Google Doc for parents to sign up for Pasta Nights and Snacks. Pasta Nights are great carbo loading opportunities as well as team bonding opportunities. They will be the night before meets. We will need a family to host the dinner and a helper(s) family to assist with the food and drinks. New to this year, I'd like to have snacks and drinks for the boys after some meets. If you are willing, please sign up to either help with a Pasta Night or to bring a snack for after a meet. HERE is the link for the pasta night/snack sign up. Thank you for the support parents, we couldn't be an elite team without your help!
Team Website
Please bookmark the team website and refer to it (titanxc.weebly.com) often and ensure your son does so as well. News, updates, documents,training logs, and other important information is located there. I also encourage you and your son to make a Twitter account (even to just follow us!) @TCTitanXC to get up to the minute news and info.
I have attached the Camp Outline, Physical Form, and 2016 Team Information Packet for you to review. Please print and return physical form, expectation form, and absence request form to Coach Kay at the Team/Parent Meeting on the 10th.
Thanks so much for reading through all this, I hope everything is clear and concise! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Coach Kay
