Royal Running Club Information
Dear Parents:
Yes!!! The RYAN RUNNING CLUB begins Thursday, November 8thfrom 3:00 PM – 3:45 PM. Mr. Angell and I are looking forward to Running Club this year. We will meet in the back of the school on the basketball courts for the parent meeting and stretching prior to our one lap around the school. Students will be running around the RYAN campus. RUNNING CLUB DAYS WILL ALWAYS BE ON MONDAY(7:35-8:20) AND THURSDAY(3:00-3:45)and will not be rescheduled due to holidays. No club on early release days.
Running Club is organized around the activity of running, but the focus of the club is to promote the well being of the child. The club will promote fitness and encourage sportsmanship and a positive mental attitude. I will be teaching basic techniques, skills and strategies of running. I will also discuss values related to the sport. Winning and losing, cooperation and consideration will be constantly discussed. This will be an excellent opportunity for your child to learn about himself or herself.
Students involved in Running Club will be running around the Ryan campus or surrounding fields. This keeps the running from being monotonous and boring. Time will be spent on safety procedures, the importance of jogging with a friend, the correct method of crossing streets (always with adult supervision at any busy areas), and the dangers of strangers. These will constantly be taught and reviewed.
Before consenting to your child’s participation in Running Club please review the list of guidelines below.
RUNNING CLUB GUIDELINES
- Although attendance is voluntary, too many missed practices will result in being dropped from the club.
- Runners must check in and out of running club. No runner may be picked up while out on the course. ALL runs begin and end in the designated area.
- Parents wishing to watch their child are encouraged, but we’d rather you walked and/or jogged with us.
- Any runner dropping out of Running Club will not be permitted to rejoin that year.
- A misconduct ticket will keep your child out of running club for 2 weeks. Students first…athletes second.
6. KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY AN OLDER SIBLING OR PARENT.
I sincerely hope you will encourage and support your child in this effort. Running Club has proven to be a rewarding experience for all involved. If you have concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me at (480) 224-3215. Also, you are more than welcome to come and walk, jog, or push the stroller with us.
Transportation is not provided to or from Running Club. All runners must arrange for their own ride.
Running Club is virtually a cost-free activity, but once you have determined the conviction of your child’s participation, I would like you to consider purchasing a “good” pair of running shoes. Believe me…shoes make all the difference in the world and aid in preventing injuries.Please work with your children who do not know how to tie their shoes yet! Ten minutes every day!
In order for your child to participate, you must fill out and print the attachedform. Your child will not be allowed to run until I receive it. Remember, we start Running Club on Thursday, November 8th from 3:00 PM – 3:45 PM. We will be looking for assistance in helping the runners log in due to the large number of runners who participate in this twice-weekly after school activity. If you are able help, please email Ms. Barryat . Please check out my TEACHER PAGE for new pictures or videos of our events!
Please do not pick up your child on Mustang Drive in the bus lane.
Please take the time to discuss with your child/children the pick up arrangements and stick to them so the child does not get confused. If arrangements do change please let your child know as well as Ms. Barry via email at .
Royals Rock,
