SPRING TRACK FLYERS ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT THE TOWNSHIPS WEBSITE www.montvillenj.org.
More information is available on this website, which contains information about nutrition (below), practice and meet schedule, stats from last year and this year, team records, directions to the meets and team rules.
Nutrition: Eating well and eating at the right time before, during and after meets and practices are just as important as the workouts we run at practice. Your child should eat before practice; however, it should be at least one hour before practice begins. Heavy and fattier foods such as, hamburgers, hotdogs, steak, fried foods and pizza are NOT good choices before a practice. Lighter and healthier foods such as, bagels, pasta, cereal, fruit and breads are much better choices. Your child and his or her body will be much more comfortable and happier at practice when lighter/healthier foods are chosen. The same rules apply for meets, eating at least one hour before the start of the meet. However, a meet lasts up to 3 ½ hours and your child will get hungry during the meet. To battle this, bring things to the meet such as nutrition bars, bagels, fruits and sports drinks to help your child stay hydrated and energized.
