State Qualifiers / Open race This registration is for middle school runners wishing to attend the FLYRA middle school state meet in Lakeland, FL. You may have qualified as a team member (top 30% of finishing teams at a sanctioned race) or as an individual (top 10% at a qualifying race) OR be in the open race (No qualification required). NEW THIS YEAR - OPEN RACE IS ON FRIDAY 10/30/26 in the evening NOT SATURDAY when the varsity runs. Coach Moomaw will be there to coach you, but you run on a different day than the top 10 runners of your schools. * NO OTHER REGISTERING IS NECESSARY BY AN INDIVIDUAL (Do NOT enter them yourself on milesplit!). Gulf Coast Runners and Coach Moomaw will officially enter the kids into the meet. Practices and uniform distribution Your race fees INCLUDES A GCR RACE uniform. We will hold practice on Monday, October 19th and Wednesday (10/21) at Naples HS Track from 5:30pm - 6:30pm. The athlete, a teammate or a representative needs to be able to attend to pick up your teams uniforms. CCPS TEAM ISSUED UNIFORMS are not permissible by Collier County Public Schools rules (since the event is non CCPS sanctioned) Attendance at practices are NOT required to participate in the state meet, but they are open for participants to obtain more information and/or a light workout under the direction of a GCR approved coach. 1 team member or coach may pick up the uniforms of other teams. Your uniform/singlet is included in the price of your registration. Some teams have also indicated interest in obtaining their own jerseys of a higher quality, which is fine. We just ask that they be sure you include Gulf Coast Runners somewhere on your singlet (Teams have also organized their own shorts or matching shorts in the past..... that is up to the team/runner) The time schedule for the October 31st race is below: REMINDER (Varsity/ Top 10 only on Sat!) 7:15am - GIRLS meet Coach Moomaw at the Gulf Coast Runners tent for bib distribution, course maps and strategy, and any other last minute direction 8:40am - BOYS meet Coach Moomaw at the tent. ***NOTE**** Failing to show up on time will result in you having to grab your own bib out of the tote. Coach Moo needs each individual to commit to the times listed, so that all 50-75 kids can have a positive experience. Coaching my own teams becomes my highest priority once everyone is welcomed and given their bibs/instructions. Please plan accordingly! ​8:00am Girls Championship MS Club (This would be where our Gulf Coast Runners club team would race if they do not run for their schools) ​8:20am Girls Championship MS Public (This would be where our CCPS qualifers/ schools would race) 9:00am Boys Championship MS Club (This would be where our Gulf Coast Runners club team would race if they do not run for their schools) ​9:20am Boys Championship MS Public (This would be where our CCPS qualifers/ schools would race) OPEN RUNNERS/JV Race (10/30 - FRIDAY NIGHT) Girls at 5/ Boys at 5:30pm (Meet Coach Moomaw at 4:30pm at the Gulf Coast Runners ten to receive your bibs!) Course Map - Click here If you are planning to stay in a hotel, I would recommend booking early. The closer we get to the date of the event, more people will qualify and begin to take the rooms. With a later start time staying overnight is not required (especially for open runners), but just a pro tip if you plan to :)

Instructional League Whether you have never curled before or are looking to get some more experience before joining league play, the Instructional League is the right place for you. This three week league will start with the basics of “learn to curl” and add on new techniques and strategies each week. By the end of the 4 weeks, you will be ready to join League play. Each member will be placed on a team with a coach. Each session will start out with fundamental skills training and then feature a game to apply your new skills. The coaches will work with you on your on-ice skills, the etiquette of the sport, and getting you ready to play with more experienced curlers. Best of all, you do not need to purchase any equipment to join the league. Some players may choose to get their own shoes or brooms, but that is not a requirement to be in the Instructional League. The Loggerhead Curling Club has everything that you need to get started. Winter Instructional League Dates March 1, 8, 15 and 22
