Kids’ Track Team Season Starts February 15

VOLUNTEER REQUEST FOR A “HOP, HOP, HOPPING ALONG” EVENT On Saturday, March 20th a special visitor for our children will be at the Steeplechase clubhouse. Who is the visitor? The EASTER BUNNY!! However the Bunny can’t do it all and the Bunny needs help planning and preparing for this fun event. So, there is a need for volunteers. If you want to volunteer, or have questions about volunteering, please contact Stacy Johnston at Chaparral Management. Thanks for your interest in making this a fun-filled, memorable event for kids.

The Northwest Flyers Track Club is now registering new and returning athletes for the 2016 spring and summer track season. All athletes new to the sport who are not on school track teams must pass a fitness test at their first practice in order to join the team. Practices are held on Mondays and Thursdays at Cypress Creek High School track, 9815 Grant Rd., Houston. The Northwest Flyers is a youth (ages 6 -18) track organization, affiliated with USA Track & Field. The club provides a full program of “track” events such as sprints, hurdles, middle distance, distance and relays, and “field” events such as long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, discus, shot put and javelin. The club was founded 29 years ago by local Olympic gold medalist Fred Newhouse to foster the development of youth track & field in the northwest Houston area. Those who missed the mandatory orientation on February 6 may register online at www. northwestflyers.org. Contact the club at linette.roach@sbcglobal. net or 281-587-8442.
