Hello, Hawk Families!
We see you’re ready to race again!! Please follow the directions below to REGISTER & PAY DUES BY MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 2021. 

Start Here.

Please fill out and submit the I'M INTERESTED FORM and be sure to read through our new policies. 

Please click the link below to register on our online platform.
*If you’re registering 2+ athletes, be sure to register them in the same transaction to get the sibling discount.
REGISTRATION and DUES 

STRAVA: New this season! Set up a STRAVA ACCOUNT for your athlete. Once you have an account, use the search feature to search clubs and request to join "Delta Hawks."  If you have any questions about how to do this, don't hesitate to ask! 


UNIFORMS: Please have your athlete try on their uniform. If you need to size up, email us with your size request ASAP to allow time for production/shipping. New uniform cost: $50. We will also be having a "gear swap" in the near future to trade used gear. More info to come.

TEAM GEAR: Want to show your Hawk pride? You can access the team store through the Hawks website: TEAM GEAR STORE

DROP-OFF POLICY: Coaches request that a parent stay for the duration of practice. If necessary, an athlete can be dropped off, but only if they are 10 or older.

RACES: Cross Country meet registration will be handled by the coaches and meet fees are included in your club dues; it’s just the road races (optional) you'll need to register for and pay for on your own. We hope to receive discount codes for many of the road races and will share those with the team as they become available.

IMPORTANT STUFF:
  • We communicate primarily through the TEAM APP.
    • Download it, request access to Delta Hawks team, and once admitted, turn notifications on. Important information can be sent out at any time!
  • Wear appropriate footwear to every practice and race.
    • Fleet Feet is a great place to get fitted for the proper running shoes. Mention Delta Hawks Racing at checkout for 10% off your purchase of shoes.
  • We practice rain or shine. (Unless otherwise notified by the coaches.)
    • Bring a towel and dry clothes to change into as soon as practice is over.
  • Plan for the weather and dress in layers.
  • Get your athlete a head lamp or running light and send it with them to each practice. The sun sets early in fall/winter.
    • It's more for us than it is for them. We MUST be able to see them while they're running in the dark. Their safety is our TOP PRIORITY!
  • Drop off:
    • Arrive to practice ON TIME and READY to warm up. 5:30 PM Mon/Th. Practice is about 90 min. (Drop off is for ages 10 and up only.)
  • Pick up:
    • Arrive by 6:45 pm and physically get out of your car to pick up your Athlete. We can not let them leave until we see you, the parent/guardian. Please do not be late.
  • Pay close attention to the Team App, the RACE SCHEDULE, and the COACHES' BLOG. The blog is updated weekly, forecasting the week ahead.
For even more information, please visit THE DETAILS tab on www.deltahawksracing.com
And as always, please let us know if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
​Delta Hawks Management Team

Championship Travel Info

Regional Championships FRESNO

First, double check the event itself and determine if you will stay in Fresno the night before the race or arrive race morning. This is a DO NOT BE LATE EVENT! So please don't push it.

Once we know who has qualified from Associations to Regionals you should book your hotel rooms as they will fill quickly. So pick them out now, call and see if you can book now and cancel without penalty. Below are a few hotels near Woodward Park in Fresno. There are others in this area of Fresno and this area is where you should stay.
  • Extended Stay America Fresno - North, Fresno2.5-star
  • La Quinta Inn & Suites -  Fresno
  • TownePlace Suites by Marriott Fresno

National Championships MADISON, WI
We have blocked off 10 rooms that have a King and pull out sofa at the Days Inn in Madison, WI. This hotel is about 3 miles from the course and is not one of the USATF listed hotels. The reason we do this is actually to avoid crowds at the event hotels. This tends to be a calmer environment for the kids (and parents) and tend to be less expensive. This hotel also hosts a complimentary breakfast. 

RESERVATION DETAILS
Room rate was blocked at $93.00 per night (4 person)
Rooms are being held until December 2 (the day after our regional qualifier). We will approach each family this week regarding interest in going to nationals if your child qualifies so that we have a good idea of which families should go ahead and reserve a room. We will ask those families interested in going to reserve their rooms prior to regional qualifier as they are allowed to cancel up to 48 hours prior to the reservation.

Flights
For your travel plans you will want to arrive on Thursday, December 12 and Depart in the evening of the 14 or morning of the 15th.  We will not be done at the meet until 2:30pm at the earliest on the 14th. So if you travel on the 14th I would book for 6:30pm or later. Most teams will travel out on the 15th.

Costs seem to be between $459 and $650 with no direct flight options out of Sacramento. Most one stops go through Denver or Minneapolis on United or Delta.

Champion Season

10/22/2019

0 Comments

 
We wanted to take a moment to explain how the rest of the season will work when it comes to racing. First, cross country practice will go through December 14.

There are 3 meets that make up the Championship Season. Those meets are Association Championships, Regional Championships and National Championships. Runners must qualify to each additional round of championships as a team or as an individual. Here is how that works:

Association Championships (11/24 @ Folsom HS)
The first thirty (30) individual finishers and first five (5) teams in each division (age group) will qualify to Regionals.

Regional Championships (12/1 @ Woodward Park, Fresno)
The first thirty (30) individual finishers and first five (5) teams in each division (age group) will qualify to Nationals.

National Championships (12/14 @ Madison, WI)

The Hawks goal is simple - QUALIFY AS MANY HAWKS AS POSSIBLE TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. Qualifying in and of itself is a major accomplishment. If families choose to travel to Wisconsin for Nationals is entirely up to them. We understand its a tough time of year and a very expensive trip. At this point, the coaches anticipate based off of conversations we have had that no one will travel to Wisconsin this year. If you have an interest in going please reach out to Coach Dusty, Staci or Phil asap.

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR ASSOCIATION & REGIONAL CHAMPS. AS WE TELL THE KIDS ALL THE TIME - HAWKS ARE STRONGER TOGETHER.

2.  Once you are done shopping select view cart in upper right hand corner.
3. For payment, click PayPal link, the next page will provide PayPal and below that an option to pay with credit card. Be sure to complete the transaction all the way through. 
  • Gear is available at any time. Orders will take approximately 2-weeks to deliver. Delivery comes to Coach Dusty who will deliver to practice.
  • JACKET: The coaches jacket are now available. Warning, they aren't cheap.
  • SWEATSHIRTS: There are four sweatshirts listed on the store site please read descriptions below before ordering.
    YST244 & F244: 
    These sweatshirts are more performance oriented and are the sweatshirts that the kids have been using for warmup tops. The change here is that this sweatshirt is now available in adult sizes. Kids needing a warmup top in adult sizes or adults that want a performance sweatshirt should choose these two styles.

    ST296 & LST296: 
    Men's and Women's Specific sizing. Lighter weight cotton, cozy and more fashion driven everyday hoodie. These are super comfortable but don't serve as great warmup top and are only available in adult sizes.

Lagoon Valley XC Meet Details

8/30/2019

0 Comments

 
 Lagoon Valley Cross Country Invitational
Saturday, September 7, 2019

LETS RACE
We encourage every athlete to race whenever given the opportunity. First, racing together is the best way we can contribute to each other and second the only way to gain confidence and improve is to race often. After all, we are the Delta Hawks Youth RACING Team!

WHO IS RACING - RSVP by Sunday, 9/1 at 3:00pm
Please follow the link to RSVP for the race. When we request RSVPs we need to know YES or NO. If you are a NO please still follow the link and tell us. This way we don't have to hunt you down for an answer.
RSVP HERE -->

ARRIVE EARLY
The most important thing about this meet is to know you need to arrive early. There is only one way in to Lagoon Valley Regional Park and it can back up on that road a long ways. Do not stress yourself or your athlete out by arriving late. Directions and parking below.

TIME SCHEDULE
Meet at Team Tent: 7:00am
Warmup Starts: 7:10am (boys), 7:20 (girls)
Race Starts: 8:00am (boys), 8:15 (girls)
We suggest arriving to Lagoon Valley Regional Park by 6:40am to give yourself time to park and find the team tent.

PARKING & DIRECTIONS - $5.00 PARKING FEE
Westbound I-80 to Lagoon Valley Rd exit. Turn left at the top of the off ramp. Proceed approximately ½ mile to the service entrance. Turn left and follow signs to the parking area.

RACE DETAILS
All Hawks will race 1.5 miles on a relatively flat course that is spectator friendly. When you arrive at the tent one or more of the coaches will take your kids on a warmup and guide them through the morning. Honestly, you won't see a ton of them until after the race. We will go over these details at practice on Friday so that they are fresh in everyones mind.

RACE MORNING
We are often asked what an athlete should eat on race morning. To be there by 6:40am you are going to leave the house by around 6:00am, which means your kids will be up before 6:00am. Which is great. They can have a decent breakfast at that point or have something healthy but simple on the car ride. Bring along water and a simple snack. By 6:45am, you will shouldn't be eating anything else.

Cross Country Season is Here!

7/26/2019

Hello Hawk Families,
Summer is just about wrapped up and that means one thing - Cross Country Season!!!​

We are excited to get started at our cross country kick off on Sunday, August 11 at 3:00pm at the Boat House. We would like to get a jump start on renewing memberships. Below is a list of things you should be aware of.

ONLINE REGISTRATION - we are using an online registration software that helps us with administering the team more efficiently. There will be a $5.00 transaction fee but know that we chose a platform that keeps transaction fees to a minimum.

PRICE INCREASE - The price has increased from $140 to $160. The team is not a money making endeavor and coaches are still all volunteer based. The main reason for the increase is AAU membership fees. You would have been asked to pay for these fees for insurance but it is logistically easier if we build the fees in and register all Hawks at once.

PRACTICE DAYS - practices are Tuesday (5:30p), Friday (5:30p) and Sunday (3:00p) this season to avoid the Delta United of Clarksburg Soccer practices on Tuesday/Thursday. We can’t avoid all conflicts but a high percentage of our current members participate in Delta United so this adjustment was necessary.

RACE SCHEDULE - find an easy access Race Schedule on the website menu and on the Team App menu.

REGISTER NOW
Returning athletes should register now, we have a pre-registration deadline of August 6. Starting Aug 7th all parents/athletes that have not renewed will be removed from the Team APP as we prep to have a current group of families on the APP.


Please DO NOT share the registration link below. All new athletes must attend the free two week Try Out to ensure each athlete is ready for Delta Hawks. Register at
https://deltahawks.redpodium.com/2019-delta-hawks-cross-country-season
Choose returning athlete option. We still honor a $25 discount for multiple athletes in one family. This is built into the registration but all athletes must be registered at the same time. Also, the discount does not apply to the "first athlete".


We look forward to seeing all of you.

WHO  FLYS? WE DO!!!!
