The 2011-12 AATC Youth Indoor Track season starts on Monday 11/14. Practices will be held at the University of Michigan Track Building. The UM Track Building is located off State Street, just south of Hoover, and just beyond the outdoor track and baseball stadium parking lots. Athletes ages 6-18 of all abilities and skill levels are welcome.
We train at the UM Track every Monday, every Wednesday and every Thursday from 7-8:30 PM, through Thursday March 15, except for the following dates:
- Thursday 11/24 (Thanksgiving Holiday)
- Monday 12/19 (Building renovations/painting)
- Wednesday 12/21 (Building renovations/painting)
- Thursday 12/22 (Building renovations/painting)
- Monday 12/26 (Christmas Holiday)
- Wednesday 12/21 (Building Renovations/Painting)
- Thursday 12/22 (Building Renovations/Painting)
- Thursday 1/12 (THERE IS A MEET ON THE UM TRACK THIS COMING THURSDAY -- SEE BELOW)
- Thursday 1/26 (another meet on the UM track)
- Thursday 2/2 (another meet at the UM track)
- Thursday 2/16 (another meet at the UM track)
In addition, athletes competing at the EMU meet on Monday 1/16 will NOT be practice. We will have practice that night for all the other kids.
We are going to lose a lot of Thursdays. However, we can negotiate make up dates with UM to use the track on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. Stay tuned for what the coaches decide.
For those who are wondering:
1. We will practice the week between Christmas, but only on Wednesday and Thursday 12/28 and 12/28.
2. In order to make up the lost practices the week before Christmas and the Monday after Christmas, we will practice on Friday 12/30, and also on
Monday 1/2/12 (the day after New Year).
3.We WILL train at the UM Track the night of Martin Luther King (MLK) day -- Monday 1/16/12.
The cost to train your kids (track fees) is $5/night or $25/month, whichever is cheapest for you. For those who attend practice at least twice a week, I recommend paying by the month, since that will be cheaper. In addition, the annual AATC membership dues are $15/kid or $35/family. For more details concerning entry fees, uniforms, and travel costs to meets, please contact (Team Manager) Ron Beasley at 734-330-7931 (
