Membership in the Brocaw Blazers is unique in that unlike most competitive sports; attendance at practice and meets is optional. Our team has members participating in a variety of other sports and in most cases counts the practices and games for those sports as one of the practices that the runners are encouraged to do each week. We understand that parents only have so much time in the evening and that is why our practices typically only last around 50-60 minutes total for the younger runners and 70 minutes for high school runners. Training for each week is posted online for the team so that you know what to do in case you are unable to make a practice for some reason.
Again, those that are doing another sport practice or game that day should consult Coach Ramsey before doing our workout as well. Unlike track & field meets, most of our meets take 90 minutes or less to complete and that includes the warm-up and cool down as well as all the races!

All Coaches are Volunteers
Becoming a member of the Brocaw Blazers is incredibly inexpensive when compared to other youth sports and teams. Membership in the Brocaw Blazers consists of both competitive and training levels. All coaches volunteer their time so that we can keep the expense of membership down in order to allow more athletes to attend the national meet. There is no administrative fee.
