Welcome to team Alpha Speed Academy! (Ages 8-12)

We will be holding our first practice April 13th at 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm at Truman Middle School in Tacoma
~ MANDATORY PARENT MEETING 1pm 3/29/256@ CURTIS HIGH SCHOOL Weight Room.
Below you’ll see a link to online registration and payment. This needs to be completed and paid before first practice.
As a team, we will be utilizing the TeamSnap app for team chats & scheduling. Please download this app as it's our method of staying updated with information.
Please, bring to practice water bottle (with name) running shoes, appropriate clothing for the season (our spring weather has been somewhat unpredictable and evenings can be cold/ windy/ rainy) We practice in running shoes and compete in track spikes unless coaches specify otherwise throughout the season.
For the safety of all athletes and coaches it’s important to supervise younger children who are not participating in our program. Athletes who are being coached should have a liability waiver/fees documented filled out on TeamSnap Registration for continuity purposes. We are not responsible for unsupervised children.
