Ask Jack: Where can I find a diagram to lay out a 400 meter track. Snowshoe on 2/2/2001

Jack sez: We answered a track layout question once before. That information is:

The USTCA&TBA sells a book called the Track Construction Manual which you can order on line at www.USTCTBA.com.

Visitors to www.NAYSI.com are reminded that searches can be done, in this case on track, from the home page of www.NAYSI.com. Scroll through Ask Jack and our FAQ to find answers to the question you may be too darn shy to ask.

Youth from Mexico want track meet in USA

I received a telephone call from Roman Perez, my friend and associate in Monterrey, NL, Mexico. He wishes to schedule a track meet in the USA for a group school boys and girls, ages 10 to 16. North Carolina is his first preference but he will consider other locations. They are prepared to travel to the USA between the end of March and the end of April. If you know of one or more track programs (school, recreation, other) that would like to host these youngsters, most of whom are bilingual, please contact Jack as soon as possible. Thanks . . .

Youth Sport Leadership Forum
March 6th

     by Jack Hutslar, Program Manager
     Leadership Forum & Coaching Clinic
     336.784.4926 or Jack@NAYSI.com
     See Bulletin Board at www.NAYSI.com

Leadership is a trait that some people possess naturally. Others find themselves in positions of leadership neither innate abilities nor experience to call on. In the latter case, those skills must be acquired through on the job training. Can leadership be learned? Sure!

Leadership and issues like this are being addressed in the Piedmont Triad through the Youth Sport Leadership Forum and Coaching Clinics. They were started in 2000 by Jack Hutslar with full endorsement of the Piedmont Triad Sports Club. PTSC is an outgrowth of the Piedmont Triad Partnership, a non-profit organization serving the 12 county Piedmont Triad Region. Dudley Travel Agency, Inc. is the first major sponsor to be signed for 2001. Jack Hutslar founded the North American Youth Sport Institute in 1979.

In the area of sports for kids, both at the community and school level, program leaders can find themselves in situations that challenge their knowledge and talent. That is, rowdy players, aggressive coaches and unruly parents have more experience doing what they do than do many program leaders. Unprepared leaders can get run over. Others can just struggle to cope with or come up with strategies that neutralize those "challenging" participants.

The purpose of the Youth Sport Leadership Forum, among other things, is to provide leaders with management tools and options? How do others deal with unruly parents? Do we know anything about changing the habits of aggressive coaches? Questions like this are common. Sharing strategies and information is the cornerstone of the Leadership Forum.

The next Youth Sport Leadership Forum will be held March 6th at 6:30 p.m. at the Kernersville Family YMCA. The program will begin with a Reception featuring Gerald Austin, NFL Head Referee at Super Bowl XXXV. It will be followed immediately by the Leadership Forum. There is no charge for this program. A light snack will be provided. Pre-registration is required.

The Coaching Clinics, by title, are pointed toward those who work with the young boys and girls in community and school sport and recreation programs. In many cases, Clinics such as this are used as recruiting tools to sign up new parent coaches and league helpers.

These two programs are offered alternately every 3.5 months. Announcements can be found on the Bulletin Board at www.NAYSI.com. The current schedule is:

• Coaching Clinic, Part I - November 11, 2000, at the Greensboro (NC) Coliseum

• Youth Sport Leadership Forum - March 6, 2001at the Kernersville YMCA at 6:30 p.m.

• Coaching Clinic, Part II - June 2, 2001, at WSSU (to be confirmed)

• Youth Sport Leadership Forum - October 2001 at the new Bishop McGuinness HS

• Coaching Clinic, Part III - January 2002, location to be announced

The Coaching Clinic, Part II of V, will be conducted at Winston-Salem State University (to be confirmed) on Saturday June 2, 2001 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Registration is $15, $20 at the door. The Clinic presents coaches, leaders and interested parents with the methods that are commonly used to "teach" sport skills. These methods help players learn faster, play in safety and have more fun.

To register for the March 6th Youth Sport Leadership Forum, contact Jack Hutslar in Kernersville NC by 3/1/2001 at 336.784.4926 or Jack@NAYSI.com. For more information about these programs, contact Jack at 336.784.4926 or by email at Jack@NAYSI.com to be added to the email list.
