Hello Everyone,
I hope the end of everyone’s track season went well. I have a couple of items you may be interested in.
1. ITCCCA is in need of a male 150’+ discus thrower to work with legendary throws coach Bob Nihells at the Learn By Doing clinic being held on June 30th & July 1st. The clinic would be free for this young man and he is needed only on July 1st. Coach Nihells will work with this young man while coaches observe. We have all the other levels for both guys & girls covered. Check out the link of the clinic for details: http://itccca.com/ learn-by-doing-clinic-june-30- july-1-2019/
If you have a thrower who is interested please contact me. ASAP, first come first serve. My cell is 847-414-8415.
2. I posted on Twitter a few weeks ago that I was looking for possible summer meets. I was looking for meets that my kids could just go do and not have to worry about joining a USATF or AAU organization. I have attached 3 calendar’s that contain the meets that I found through a lot of your help. I thought it would be easier if they were all in one place. I did not include USATF or AAU meets in the calendar. You can find that information easily enough on their website.

3. There is an outdoor space in Aurora, Illinois that kids and coaches can go throw this summer. They can also learn to throw the hammer or javelin. Check out the website of Hammerman Throws: https://hammermanusa. com
They are also have a summer throws meet series this summer.

Thanks, & enjoy the summer
