Good morning,
Welp, we survived another 4 day meet weekend! Before we say another word, let us give thanks to the awesome parents and coaches who sacrificed their time to help make this weekend a good one for not only Zoom athletes, but for all who participated!

As I don't want to run the risk of offending anyone if I leave your name out, thank you to all those parents who volunteered to help manage the team and officiate any events this weekend!

THANK YOU!

A few final important notes and reminders:

• Meet fees for the USATF Regional Qualifier are due no later than Tuesday 6/30. Fees are $7/event and a copy of your athlete's birth certificate must be turned in for all athletes who have not done so previously.
• There will be practice today, beginning at 5:30pm. We ask if you plan to attend, also plan to be ON TIME! We have just a few practices left before the USATF Qualifier and must maximize our time and effort.

Sunday's action saw several of our kids competing in the 100 and 200 finals, the 4x400 relay, the 800, and several other field events. Congratulations goes out to all who made it to the finals in competition and to all who gave it their all in competition throughout the weekend!

Good morning everyone,

Here are several important reminders for the upcoming week:

1. Meet fees are Due: Meet fees are $26/athlete for the AAU Regional Qualifier and is due by tomorrow, 6/16. Reminder: In order to participate in this meet, your athlete must have a valid AAU membership card as well. 
2. Tomorrow is Picture Day: Tuesday we will be taking team photos. ATTIRE: Boys in WHITE performance tees (Not the singlets); Ladies in BLUE performance tees (again, No singlets). Everyone needs to wear blue or black shorts- no bright colors of any sort or you will be asked to not take part!  We WILL be having a regular practice immediately afterwards. We will be taking photos near the men's baseball field, so when you arrive, please head over that way. That is the baseball field furthest away from the restroom/concession area.
3. We are still in need of volunteers for next week's AAU Qualifier. If you can volunteer for any of the days, Thursday- Sunday, please let us know by tomorrow, 6/16. We have to turn in a volunteer list by then.

Email us with any questions or if you can volunteer for next week's meet.

Good morning everyone,

 We just wanted to take this time to thank ALL of the Zoom Invitational Volunteers for their assistance in making our 1st meet a successful one. The majority of the feedback we received was positive and that would not have been possible with you- the parents and supporters of Tallahassee Zoom !! This email cannot fully convey the gratitude the coaching staff is feeling towards you guys this morning- THANK YOU!


We also just wanted to say a special prayer for all of our Zoom family members and friends, both near and far, who are experiencing any type of sickness, illness, or the loss of loved ones during this time. Please know our prayers are with you during this most difficult time....

Good morning,

If you have NOT paid for your USATF and AAU card membership, the deadline for both approaches! Fees are outlined below:

AAU Membership: $14
USATF Membership: $20

This past weekend marked the end of our regular season meet schedule. All remaining meets are considered part of the championship season.


If you plan on participating in any of the upcoming championship meets this season, you MUST purchase a membership card and submit a copy of your child's birth certificate to Coach Wendell or Coach Diane.

The deadline to purchase your cards and turn in birth certificates (NOTE: returning athletes who have participated in these events last year DO NOT need to submit birth certificates) is Monday June 15th. We will not be purchasing cards beyond this date!

Our remaining meet schedule is as follows:

***Meet designated as OPTIONAL. There are no plans to attend this meet as a team, but parents can travel with their athletes to this meet if they so choose. We can assist with registration.


****PLEASE NOTE: The Tallahassee Trailblazers Invitational, originally scheduled for June 20th, has been canceled.
