You bet! This has been such a different time for all. Heatwaves, COVID and now smoke… 😦 Coach Joy is very concerned with everything- especially YOUR health. If AQI is too dangerous, she will send out a class email to let you know that the class will cancel. Always know that if we cancel a class it will be made up at end of session.
If you have any questions about class, text or call Coach Joy: 510-816-8009
BE Positive & Safe! Good Job, You’re Awesome!
Hi Team & Future teammates!
We spoke to Coach Joy to ask her what she thought about all that has been going on and not able to really coach our classes live & not race herself. Here is what she said:
“Hi! Thanks for asking! Well, I know this is a time we are not used to or prepared for, but we are ALL being smart and have to abide by the CDC rules. I can’t wait to get back to coaching in our normal way, but in the meantime we will be safe & practice with small groups & social distancing.”
“This summer sure has been different! For everyone! Gosh, but I am so glad that we were able to have some Zoom classes. It was great to see our super Jackrabbits, and it is always great to teach our little student athletes about our sport of Track & Field!”
“As for me racing track meets, well, there were a lot of competitions cancelled-which we all knew would happen-but the World Masters Group created a Virtual Challenge as well as the USATF Masters had a Virtual Meet, too! So thought it would be fun to support both those events. We would post proof of our results on their result page. It was good to be able to do some type of ‘racing’ even though it wasn’t in a real meet. I still made ‘Virtual’ ribbons for a few other teammates”

Yay!!! Come race a 200 meter with your age group!! Watch a real awesome meet after/before your race!!
This race is during the Stanford Invitational Track Meet. It is a college & high school meet..and there is a special, highlighted race for the kids! The race begins at 12:38pm SHARP..it is important to meet Coach Joy near the Brick Information Building outside the track @ 12:00pm. …there, we will divide into age groups to race: 5 & under, 6 ,7…etc..and walk to the start of the 200m. (This 200m race is open to all kids ages 12 and under). This is a great opportunity to run a 200m..the crowd will cheer for everyone & it is a fun experience! Yay!! Everyone racing receives an award, too! (..races are over by 12:48pm ..college races immediately follow). Parents may walk out to the start with the children & also wait at finish line. HOWEVER, there is a high power meet happening around this 200m event for kids..so Please be aware of other athletes in the infield. So, after the fun kids races, we must exit the track immediately.
Arrive early! There will be tons of team busses & cars parked all over.
Invite your friends!

Jackrabbits-
Remember we practice rain or shine… just make sure to bring a towel for after practice to put down in your car when you go home. 🙂
Many track and sporting events are not cancelled due to rain, so it is important to know that yes, we do get wet, but we still can run and have fun! (In fact, many of our rainy day practices have been favorites of the kids!) Yay!
