We will practice daily after school Monday-Friday 2:45-4:15PM. We willnot have practices on early-out Wednesdayssince coaches have training at their respective schools during this time. Practice locations are as follows:

On Thursdays and Fridays, select groups will take the Athletic Bus 611 over to Roosevelt to practice on the track at the high school. Students will be responsible for coordinating transportation home. Students can also take the DART bus home for free with a Student ID.

5. If a student needs running shoes please go to Fitness Sports on University Ave. Let them know your student runs for Roosevelt MS track team and you will get a (10% or 15%) discount.
6. Runners watches are optional but it does help when athletes have them and can time their own intervals in training workouts.
