Communications

All communications and volunteer coordinating will be handled by Chip McKenzie, [email protected], 281-732-7027. To help us all, it is critical that each student and parent sign-up to receive the following communications:

1. Remind - Normally used for last minute or quick communications. We recommend both parent and athlete join. Instructions for joining here.

2. GroupMe - A copy of all "weekly" emails sent by "parent volunteer" are placed here in date order. Join here.

Running Log

Those runners with a GPS Garmin watch can "connect" to the coach (sync watch) on this website.

Running Rain Policy

Our rain policy is the following…we never (seldom) cancel practice. We run in light rain and we run inside if we hear any thunder. If the rain is pouring, we run inside at Faith West, in either the Gym or Annex Building. Worst case…we would lift weights in the Annex Building across the street at Faith West.
