Track Practice - Burke Lake Park 5.14.11

Track practice this weekend will be held from 9-11am at Burke Lake Park (7315 Ox Road, Fairfax Station, VA). Please enter the park via the main entrance.

We will meet in the parking lot near picnic area 1/ shelter B and the restrooms. From there we will move in pairs/teams around part of the path surrounding the lake. All players will be with a volunteer or coach during this run. Players will all check back in at the starting point at the end of practice.

The path around the lake is fairly narrow and there are some very sharp turns, so please bring your everyday chair, NOT your court chair or handcycle.

Please let us know if you will or will not be attending this event (volunteers included) by Friday so that we can arrange teams/pairs for the run.

***Please note that during track season practice will be held at James Lee Community Center in the event of inclement weather. We will send out an email by 5pm on Friday if the location has changed. Feel free to call us to check if needed.***

Reel 'Em In!

The team went fishing today at Burke Lake Park.  Despite the heat we caught several bluegills and a catfish.

Fishing on Saturday

This Saturday (July 24th) we will be fishing again from 8:30-10:30 am at Burke Lake Park (7315 Ox Rd. Fairfax Station, VA 22039). Please enter the park through the Virginia Fish and Game Entrance instead of the main entrance and park in the gravel lot. We meet near the boat launch ramp and then move as a team to a fishing area. The attached map of Burke Lake Park shows the location of the fishing entrance and where we will be fishing.

Please note that Virginia residents ages 16 and older must have a fishing license to participate (http://www3.dgif.virginia.gov/web/licenseagents/).

We will be fishing from platforms and/or the shoreline. If you have equipment to share with the team, please let us know so that we can ensure that all participants have equipment. Possible items include fishing rods, hooks, bobbers, old rags/towels, and camping/beach chairs. The team will provide the bait and have some additional equipment.

Please let us know by Friday morning whether or not you plan on attending practice next Saturday so that we can ensure that there is enough equipment. Thanks!
