You must set yourself on fire.”<\/em><\/strong> This powerful quote by Arnold H. Glasow encapsulates the spirit of youth athletics, where determination, hard work, and passion are essential for achieving greatness. Our coaches are dedicated to guiding young athletes, helping them ignite their inner motivation and pursue their dreams relentlessly. They foster an environment where every athlete feels empowered to push their limits, embrace challenges, and learn the value of teamwork and perseverance. Through their mentorship, young athletes not only enhance their physical skills but also develop resilience and confidence that will serve them well beyond the field. Remember, every great athlete was once a beginner, and with the right support and mindset, the journey to success becomes an inspiring adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n Our coaches are dedicated community members who volunteer their time to support and develop young athletes. Their commitment goes beyond the track, focusing on building confidence, discipline, and a love for the sport.

\n- 2024 JVS Waiver<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\nThe program is open to all students in the Mifflin and Juniata County School Districts ages 6-14.<\/b>\n\nParticipants will need an AAU membership and a Juniata Valley Striders' membership ($10 individual or $20 family) to cover insurance and registration.\n\nAthletes are expected to protect and keep clean practice facilities, always display proper decorum, and be respectful and positive with communication to teammates, coaches, officials, and parents. Athletes should be where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be, doing what they are supposed to be doing. Try to be the best you can be \u2013 not the best of all. Discover your God given gifts, develop them and use them. Help your teammates and competitors to be the best they can be. Never, never, never give up, pick yourself up and keep trying. Set realistic, measurable, challenging, attainable goals and work toward achieving them. Use positive affirmations and avoid negative thoughts. When someone is speaking \u2013 <\/span>pay attention!<\/b>\n\nAlways have water available to hydrate (come to practice and meets hydrated). Be dressed for all possible weather conditions. Identify dangerous situations and <\/span>adapt.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\n
A person is not measured by victory or defeat, but by how the pick themselves up after failure or how they act after victory! Your worth is never determined by your performance, but by your intrinsic value to all of us.<\/b><\/blockquote>\n
