Nutrition for Athletes
We have had a great response to our Nutrition for Athletes Classes; each class is about half-full. If you are considering attending, please sign up as soon as possible!
We have partnered with Tracy Canant, a registered dietitian who has taught sports nutrition for John Brown University, and she will be leading a sports nutrition class for our athletes.
The sessions are divided up according to types of sports, so that she can tailor them to meet the needs of our athletes.
Each class is limited to 20 people. Total. Each athlete must pay for their entry, and please, no more than one parent may attend with the athlete.
Spots are first-come, first-served, and offered to Hornets Athletes who are returning to compete in the 2025-2026 Season.
