The weather says "Lets Ride"!!
The Fox Cities Youth Cycling Team - The Scarlet Knights is a group of youth who are active in the sport of cycling. They participate in both mountain bike races as well as road races. These youth are supported by a group of committed parents who believe their children's involvement in a lifelong, family-oriented sport where competitors of all ability levels are allowed to participate gives their children a better opportunity to develop into well rounded teenagers and young adults.

They Do More Than Race Their Bikes!
Last night was the last Band-o-Rama concert that I had to attend because I had a child playing in the band. This concert consists of two middle schools getting together and having 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders play in one concert. I usually do not look forward to this night because noise and crowds stress me out but last night I actually enjoyed the show.
I think most parents would agree that having well rounded kids is very important. You want a child who gets stressed about school grades and commits lots of energy and time to them but you want them to realize they may/will struggle with grades but life goes on. We can just hope to teach them that they need to get back up and brush themselves off. You want them to learn to get back to work after you get a bad grade and attempt to improve on it or get the help they need to understand what is required to be succesful in the classroom. You also want them involved in other activities perhaps band, sports or etc.. Personally I think a child who has both music and some type of other team building group such as sports or a musical production is best for them. I think almost all of our team members are very well rounded and this picture is proof!! This picture was taken during the concert last night and their are at least 7 Scarlet Knights who played in a band last night. It makes me proud to say my child is a member of both the band and the FCYCT-The Scarlet Knights. It also makes me proud of the other Scarlet Knights in the picture.
Now can you name the seven Scarlet Knights in the picture?

Pitchers and Catchers Report!!
I am
not much of a baseball fan but a sure sign that warmer weather is right around
the corner is the date in the Major League Baseball schedule when pitchers and
catchers must report. For the last several years now my new sign that warmer
weather is on its way is the FCYCT-The Scarlet Knights Spring Informational
Meetings. I am pleased to announce that both of these dates are just days away.
Anyone interested in joining us for 2013 should attend one of these two
meetings. For existing/last year members please spread the word.
