All meets are optional.  Some of our members practice with us to prepare for other sports such as basketball, football, soccer, etc.

It’s raining.  Are we practicing or attending a meet?

Possibly.  Consult the web site’s for any announcements/cancellations or call 630-669-5737 for cancellation information.  Meets are cancelled only rarely – in case of thunder or a real deluge or other very nasty weather.  Practices are rarely cancelled also. We will normally practice under the bleachers during outdoor season in days with bad weather.  If it has been raining, be sure your child wears old clothes to practice!

My child lost something at a meet or practice, and I’d like to see if you’ve picked it up.

Check with the coaches at practice and we’ll check through the lost and found box.  It’s pretty full, and we always walk the field after meets and practices, so it’s quite possible we have your item.  Or stop by and take a look.
