TYPICAL SESSION:

Each practice session is something NEW, so within the construct of routine is always something creative and new. This way, Kids don't get bored and they learn new things each session that will make them a better athlete and a better person!
Lastly, whether a kiddo wants to run a race or not is not as important. (We offer the opportunity during the Spring session to run in 6-8 races in within a 45min. drive.) What _IS_ important is that each runner feels good about his/her progress, and should a runner ever wish to run a local race (1 mile or 5K), we will be ready!!
F.A.QS
Q. _Where exactly will we meet for the Rome sessions? _A. There are two sides to Ridge Ferry Park. We will meet on side which has the fenced-in Dog Park (North of the railroad tracks). Gather at the playground/bathroom near gravel lot.
Q. _What if it is raining or very cold? _A. We meet each week rain-or-shine. Of course, in the event of thunderstorms/lightning, we will make alternate plans well in advance, but there are pavilions under which to gather if its raining and do strength work, discuss race strategy, etc.
Q. _Can I bring a friend? _A. Once, yes. Beyond that, we ask that the friend sign up for the remaining sessions, at a pro-rated fee of course.
Q. _Are there any certain medical requirements you will need? _A. Yes, we ask upon registration that each participant provide proof of medical insurance.
Q. _What type of shoes should I wear? _A. Proper footwear is vital. If you have a pair youre comfortable running in, fine. If not, see Jay Stephenson at GoGo Running in Rome and tell him we sent you!! He often gives a nice discount for our members.
Q. _What if I cannot make a session? _A. If possible, email Coach David ([email protected]) but refunds are not provided for missed sessions.
Q. _What if I dont want to run in the races? _A. Thats fine. You certainly dont have to. We encourage runners to participate in them and besides, theyre free for all LiVE WiRES!!
Q. _So,how much FUN will we have?! _A. Oh my goodness, so much that we couldnt fill up a bazillion-gallon-bucket. Like, _more _than that!
Q. _Mr. David, Mr. David, are we going to..? _A. Alright, enough questions, lets go run!!
