A deposit check for uniforms is required before distribution after 2:20pm on Tuesday, April 8th. 

Deposit checks can be made out to MTFCCA for $100 and delivered to Coach Finch at any time before distribution.  All checks will be shredded or returned after uniforms are returned at the end of the season.  Please reach out to me directly with any questions or concerns on this.

A transportation waiver is required for any athlete not riding the bus to away meets.  I encourage all athletes to have a waiver on file for this season.

Anyone leaving meets early with parents needs to approve this with me at least the day before the meet and requires the signed transportation waiver.  Requests made at the meet to leave early will not be allowed.

Please fill this out and return to Coach Finch.  Either paper copy or email/picture work.

7 Tips for a Great Pre-Game Meal 

1. Don’t Experiment
   Don’t try new foods on a game day, it might cause unexpected problems.
2. Avoid Soft Drinks and Candy
   Sugar is your enemy, empty calories that don’t provide long term fuel source.
3. High Carbohydrates
   Never can go wrong with breads, pasta, rice…pure long lasting energy source.
4. Timing
   Takes about 3 hours to empty the stomach of quality food.
5. Fluids
   Plenty of water and sports drinks…stay away from carbonated sugary soft drinks.
6. Avoid High Fat Intake
   Fat takes longer to digest and lots of water to process.
7. Limit Protein Intake
   Protein is a weak energy source, great for building tissue but limit the amount immediately prior to competition. Protein is great for recovery after competitions or workouts.

There is a need for volunteers to continue the success of the Minnetonka Track & Field Cross Country Association (MTFCCA). The largest fundraiser for our programs is the Tonka Turkey Trot and the same core group of parents have shouldered the load for many years.  A special word of thanks to those parents.  Many of these parents no longer have students in the program. We are looking for a couple parents to volunteer from each grade level.  This would contribute to continuity and transition from year to year.  Any and all skills are welcome.  If you can help a little or a lot, please consider helping this year and for a few years in the future.
