Tentative Agenda for 6/17 Clinic

I know your track season has just ended, but it is never too early to start planning your cross country season, and there is no better place to start then by attending a great AAF Summer Cross Country Clinic this Saturday at Mt. SAC, June 17th, beginning with registration at 8:00 AM.

This clinic is free for all coaches or interested adults and will offer a full day of both sessions for Advanced coaches and sessions for Beginning coaches. You do not need to have pre-registered for the clinic, just show up at the clinic on Saturday.

There will be a great line up of presenters this Saturday including...

Steve Chavez of Murrieta Valley discussing “Defining and Refining Your Goals for this Summer, the 2006 Season, and the Direction of Your Program: How Does the Best Combined Boys and Girls Program in the State Achieve Such Impressive Results Year After Year”

Tom Kloos--coach of the Individual Boys National Champion, AJ Acosta, and the powerhouse El Camino program, as well as a National Class distance runner himself--will be presenting “How to Prepare, Coordinate and Deliver Training Plans for Everyone on Your Team From the National Champion to the Beginning Freshman”.

Ken Reeves-the coach with most state championships ever won by a coach in any sport in California State history--will present “Getting On to the Podium at the State Meet: Once Your Team Is Good, What Does It Take to be State Champions”.

Pat Hadley who built Valencia High School into the CIF SS-Division 2 Champions in 2005 will be discussing warm-up, cool-down and drills along with setting up a season long training plan.

Jon Zimmerman, the Orange Lutheran coach whose team is always a state contender, will be discussing the basic physiology of training the high school distance runner.

Also, the CIF-SS commissioner, Paul Castillo, will be there at lunch to answer any questions you have regarding our sport.

Also, you can buy your lunch that morning and then stay on site and have lunch with all the presenters and other coaches who attend.

Once again, not only is the clinic free to all coaches, but you will receive a free gift compliments of VS Athletics.

Finally, for those of you "true" die-hard cross country coaches who want to plan your family vacations around the cross country clinics, there will be two more great AAF clinics this summer.

On July 15th, the great young coach from Arizona State, Louie Quintana, whose distance runners just cleaned up at the Pac 10 meet two weeks ago, will be the featured presenter.

And there wil be one more Advanced and Beginning Level clinic offered just before school begins on August 19.

You can pre-register for one, two or all three clinics and see the full agendas for all the clinics at the AAF web site at...
