Developing champions on the track
and leaders in life

Dear Parents and Athletes,

We are beginning the fourth week of our 2026–27 indoor season. We hope your athletes are starting to feel more comfortable with the conditioning workouts. Please encourage them to continue doing their core exercises at home. A strong core is important for supporting them as they compete.

Our second parent meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 17, at 7:00 p.m. in front of the tennis courts. We ask that at least one parent or guardian from each household attend.

Beginning next week, we will be checking attendance and registration. Athletes who are not registered will not be able to practice. Registration is a school requirement, so please complete the registration form. The school’s requirements are becoming stricter, and we must comply to remain approved to use the facility next season.

We have many gifted athletes, and we want to support them in every way. We believe in them and want them to believe in themselves, too. At the end of each practice, we’ll recite this affirmation. Please encourage your athlete to say it to you every day:

“I am a champion. I am strong and powerful. I am focused on success, and I AM A WINNER!”

Our focus is on building strength, improving technique, developing discipline, and helping each athlete reach their full potential. We look forward to a productive season filled with hard work at school and on the track, personal growth, teamwork, and success!

Registration

All athletes must be registered at www.trackexpressmd.org. Please complete your athlete registration by Thursday, November 12, 2026, so your athlete can fully take part in the indoor season. There are athletes who are practicing with us but have not registered. For the safety of our athletes, please take the time to complete the registration fee. You can send your fee on Zelle or Cash App (240-676-8392). Please make sure you put your athlete's name in the memo section so we can be sure to credit your athlete's account.

Athlete Expectations

We expect every athlete to:

• Attend practices consistently and arrive on time.
• Be prepared to work hard and give their best effort.
• Listen to coaches and follow instructions.
• Support and encourage their teammates.

Parent and Guardian Expectations

Parents and guardians play an important role in creating a successful season. We ask families to:

• Complete registration and submit required information promptly.
• Make sure athletes arrive on time and are picked up promptly after practice.
• Keep coaches informed about absences, injuries, medical concerns, or other important matters.
• Support team policies and reinforce respectful behavior.

2026-27 Indoor Schedule

Please see the attached schedule and mark these dates on your calendar. There will be a Google doc sent out on the Thursday before the week of the Meet asking you to "Declare" your athlete for the up-and-coming Meet. If your athlete is NOT going to take part, please put an X beside his/her name so we are not paying for athletes that are not going to compete.

We are looking forward to an exciting and successful Indoor season. Thank you for trusting Track Express Track Club with your athlete. Together, we can make this a rewarding experience for everyone!
