Happy Thursday

YTS Families,


As you are all aware we will no longer be training at Cedar Fork for the Spring season. Our new training location is Preston Wood. After further discussions we have made a decision to continue with the current plan with regards to using Preston Wood as our Cary based training location. We realize a major concern is getting to Preston Wood for a 4.30 start time. As a result we have elected to delay the start time for the sessions that will take place at Preston Wood. All Preston Wood sessions will start at 4.45pm and end at 6.15pm. Our hope is that this change in start time helps with the change in location. Of course we understand it is not perfect and will not satisfy everyone but it will make arriving on time for the start of the training session more realistic for more families.
We are looking to make changes to our program for the 2013-2014 season that we feel will eliminate such problems. We certainly hope you support this change and that we can all enjoy a productive spring season.

Thanks

Happy Wednesday

YTS Families,

Happy New Year.  I hope you all had a wonderful and safe holiday.  Below you will see some reminders and information about the upcoming Spring season.

Training Calender

We are indoors the following weeks:

Outdoor Phase 1

The week of February 11th we start outdoor training.  All of these sessions will be at WRAL and we will follow the schedule below:

Outdoor Phase 2

This is the stage that we are still finalizing.  We are still looking at alternatives to training at Preston Wood Fields (which are located in Cary).  I am hopeful we will be able to send out some further communication via team managers about the updated plan for this phase of training in terms of the specifics about location by the end of the week.  The times and days of these sessions will remain the same as the fall.   I certainly appreciate your patience as we work to create the best possible plan.
