THANK YOU RAYDER FAMILY

Last month, we sadly had to say goodbye to our youth coaches Hannah, Jenna and Chris Rayder, who moved to Tuscaloosa, where Hannah and Jenna will be attending the University of Alabama.

These 3 amazing people, were once kids being coached in our youth program, and then went on to being coaches for our youth program.

We cannot thank the Rayder family enough, for helping us build an unbelievable youth program. We all wish you much happiness and success with your new journey ahead.

* At the start of June, our new youth coaches Jeannie Freis, Coleen McGrath and MC Dorbecker, took over our youth running program. They have been doing a fantastic job, and we will introduce them to you all next month in our club newsletter.
