Welcome to the Frederick Striders Newsletter
Sympathy
Spikes
Some parents have spikes their athlete have outgrown and are gently worn.
If you would like to exchange or buy gently used spikes please bring them to practice on Tuesday, March 27th & Wednesday, March 28th. Please label with your name on a sticker, price, free, or swap. This is a parent to parent option, the coaches will not be involved.
Places to buy spikes:
Spikes run small so most buy a size up from the current sneaker size. If you are not sure go to If the shoe fits and get fitted.
- If the Shoe Fits- 467 W. Patrick Street, Frederick, MD 21701
- Eastbay- www.eastbay.com (google search for the coupon usually $20 off or 20%)
- Ross- Sometimes they have spikes on the shoe shelves.
- Dick's Sporting Goods (at the FSK Mall)
- Amazon- www.Amazon.com
- First to the Finish- www.Firsttothefinish.com
Practice
Location
Tuscarora High School events override our practice times. If a high school event changes or needs to be rescheduled they will bump us from using the track. This is Frederick County Public Schools policy so it is not dictated by the Striders. This means with short notice we will have to adjust our practice location. Thanks in advance for your flexibility.Cancellation
Our Head Coach makes the final decision to cancel practice. The Remind notification will go out 1 hour (4:30) before our 5:30 start time. Please remember it may be raining at your home but it may not be raining at the track. You are the parent of your athlete so use your best judgement when attending practice when the elements aren't favorable.
