Congratulations Capital City Striders
Congratulations to all Capital City Striders for a very successful 2020-2021 Track and Field season! We encourage membership renewal by September 1, and look forward to the Cross Country Season starting in October, followed by Indoor Track and Field practice in December.
MEMBERSHIP Renewals are due September 1
New Memberships are being accepted and active Capital City Striders please renew your membership before September 1. Please encourage your friends join and submit their dues for the 2021-2022 season. Membership includes AAU membership (September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022) and USATF Membership (September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022). Fall Cross Country Practice will begin in October, and dates and locations will be posted before then. All Striders are welcome to practice and work out with the Cross Country practices, even if they normally only do shorter distances or field events. Indoor track and field practice normally starts in December on Saturdays. Our CCS Fiscal Year is the same as that for AAU: September 1 through August 31 of the following year. The USATF fiscal year is January 1 through December 31, so your 2021-2022 Membership dues ($100 per athlete) includes AAU membership for our fiscal year but an extended USATF membership.
Better Communication Methods
In an effort to improve communications with Capital City Strider athletes and their parents, we are adding a new method for communication, in addition to emails, web posts and Facebook posts. This will allow us to send out updated and urgent messages for Capital City Striders as text messages, which are more likely to be seen right away.
Please text your phone number which can receive text messages to Barbara Warren at 3047674802 with your names and ages, if athletes. Parents and guardians please identify yourselves by name and provide the names and ages of your athletes. THANK YOU for helping to improve our Capital City Strider Communications!
