📅 Calendar & Event Information

• Our full TEAM calendar is listed below.
• Includes meets, lifting sessions, and training options.
• Akron Open Nights Survey & Meet/Event Selection Form (Due by December 8th): Submit Your Akron Open Nights Survey & Meet/Event Selection Form
  Let us know what days you would go with the TEAM to Akron Indoor Nights (if at all) and what meets/events you want to compete in this winter.

🏋️‍♂️ Lifting Expectations

Lifting is available for everyone. Our goal is to hit a minimum of twice per week.

Holiday weeks may reduce lifting time, but we will adjust when possible.

🚗 Transportation & Fees

• There is no school transportation to indoor meets.
• I have a van license, so occasional transport is possible — but not guaranteed.
• The school does NOT cover entry fees.
• The Booster Club pays up front, and I will provide a payment link to reimburse them.
• If payment is not made before the meet deadline, athletes will be removed from the event.
• If plans change, please notify me at least 10 days prior or before entries close.

🏟️ Akron University Open Track Nights — $20 Per Athlete

Akron offers indoor open track nights throughout the winter for athletes of all event groups individually or as a TEAM.

• Athletes may attend individually — You Pay the $20 No Copley Coach Required — Akron U has Coaching Staff On Hand Supervising.
• Excellent opportunity to get quality winter reps indoors, especially for events we cannot practice at Copley HS.
• If we have 15 athletes committed to go to the January sessions on the Participation form above, we will go as a team and the TEAM will pay.

🏃‍♂️ Event Groups

• We offer 2 lifting sessions per week most weeks for ALL Groups..
• Distance (800 / 1600 / 3200): Individualized training plans available; majority of running is on your own.
• Email me for your training plan and run log setup.
• Sprints (60m / 200m / 400m): Runway mats rolled out in January. Training 2–3 days/week after school.
• Jumps: Akron U offers indoor jumping options. Sprint training at Copley will also help. Copley does NOT have indoor jumping facilities. Currently only 2 jumpers looking to compete in Indoor.
• Hurdlers: Practice with sprinters. Akron U is the only indoor option for hurdle-specific work. We currently have only 2 hurdlers planning to compete in Indoor.
• Throws: Akron U is our only winter training option for throwers preparing for Indoor competition.

❓ Indoor State Meet & Questions

Indoor State Meet:
Athletes must represent the school to have marks count toward State qualification. Club or unattached performances do NOT count.

Fun Note:
Two Copley athletes competed two years ago — and Trevin Jordan won the Indoor State Championship in Shot Put!

💪 Can I Just Lift?

Absolutely — lifting only is a great way to prepare for the Outdoor Track season.
