They will be accepting drop-offs at their practice on Tuesday, August 6th or are happy to arrange pick-up. Please contact Coach Laura at brockvillelegiontrack@gmail.com

They are also looking for any businesses interested in sponsoring these incredible athletes as participation in a major championship such as this is unfortunately also a costly endeavour for their athletes.
