0 out of 4 Tewksbury T&F Developmental Clinics and Meets for the summer 2023 due to rain, thunderstorms, or code red air quality. Hoping for better luck next summer. Please remember these T&F meets are run by all volunteers. No official times or distances are given.

Thank you to the Tewksbury Volunteers. We cannot have these events without your help. We appreciate you.

Thank you to the families who bring their children to these events. We hold the summer clinics and meets to promote the youth to join T&F.

A lot of preparation goes into a Tewksbury T&F Developmental Clinics and Meet. There are many volunteers who sign up to help the committee run their T&F meets smoothly. These helpers get excited as much as the families who come out for the Tewksbury events.
We are aware of the weather for Monday. 70% chance of rain, thunderstorms that might be severe. Safety is our number one concern. Even if we were dealing with just chances of rain in the forecast, most of the kids who come out for these meets do not own shoes with spikes. If our track and field are wet it will be slippery. If it has rained, our shot put ring will have water in it. These are all things we think about. I know if we cancel, there will be a lot of people disappointed. The Tewksbury Committee will be too. For now, we’ll be keeping an eye on the weather and hoping for a better forecast for Monday. If we do have to cancel, it will be posted here on this page and shared to the Facebook groups we posted our events in. Thank you
