On August 15 the Youth Track and Field Championships will begin, turning McLeod Park into the center of Olympic glory.

On August 14, however, an official practice session will turn it into a necessity.

Athletes - especially those who have never been to McLeod Park - are encouraged to take advantage of a scheduled practice session. From 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. the entire complex will be open, allowing boys and girls to examine the fields, tracks and sports boxes.

This is essential, helping all participants understand where they will compete and how their days will be scheduled. It will also promote more confidence during the games since McLeod Park will no longer be unfamiliar.

Use this time to learn the field and train for greatness!

During the next week Yo.ca will send out several reminders about the August 14 practice session. We want to keep all athletes informed and prepared.
