Dear KTFC Community,
We are heading into the last stretch of the fall season. We have been spoiled with warm weather, but the temperatures are beginning to drop. The indoor season is scheduled to begin the first week of November, however, please watch for communication from coaches directly, as outdoor training could be extended.
We have held two successful mini meets so far this October, and have three more scheduled before the end of the month. Be sure to take advantage of these opportunities to compete. We are very fortunate and thankful to have a passionate group of coaches and dedicated volunteers who have worked tirelessly to make competing possible. We have received recognition for our efforts from other clubs around the province for continuing to persevere and provide opportunities to athletes during these unprecedented times. We are looking forward to continuing this effort throughout the indoor season with at least three indoor track meets already being confirmed. Stay active with us this winter and make physical and mental wellness a priority. It's never been more important!
