Conditioning

Off season practices and conditioning have begun in preparation for the 2017 season. Practices will be held every Saturday morning either at the track or on the levee across from Southport Hall.

Off season conditioning is important for strength and endurance building, which will help our athletes in the other sports they play as well as prepare them for the upcoming park season.

This is also a good time for everyone to catch up and set goals for the upcoming season.

Once again practices will be held on Saturday mornings at 9:30am at either the City Park Practice Track or at the levee on River Road across from Southport Hall located at 200 Monticello Ave, Jefferson, LA 70121.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact Derek Mills at (504) 250-5204 or Melissa at (504) 915-4524.

Hope to see you there.

Regular Season Practices

Hello All,

Our season will be starting in May so we will start moving into regular season practices. We will be meeting at the practice track at City Park at 6pm on Monday through Thursday and at the levee on River Road at 9:30am on Saturdays.

We would really like the athletes to make at least three days of practice as we are moving from base conditioning workouts into interval work in the next few weeks. If they are not able to make it to a work out, try to have them get a 1.5 mile run in.

Metro Stars Have Solid Performance at AAU National Club Championships

Last week the New Orleans Metro Stars took a trip to Orlando Florida to see how we matched up against national competition at the AAU National Club Championships where we competed against clubs from powerhouse states such as Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, and Texas.

We had one medalist. Nine year old Robert Vaughn, Jr had an outstanding performance in the Turbo Javelin: throwing 53 Feet, 17 feet farther than his previous personal best throw, earning him a 7th place finish.


We also had many top-15 performances.

Our 9 year-olds were rather impressive this past week. Robert medaled in the Turbo Javelin; Natalie Rome qualified to compete in the semi-finals of both the 100 Meter Dash and 200 Meter Dash and placed 13th in the 400 Meter Dash, and Tyree Arso qualified to compete in the semi-finals of the 200 Meter Dash and placed 11th in the 400 Meter Dash.

Ronald Arso, Jr and Conner Winston we very competitive in the 10 year-old Long Jump, but were bumped out of the finals by the very last jumpers on their very last jump, placing them at 13th and 15th respectively.

Eleven year-old Gabriel Byrd put on a stellar performance in the 800 Meter Run, coming in 14th place and running a personal best time of 2:44.45. But it was Bernard Robertson, IV who stole the show in the 800 Meter Run, winning his heat with a time of 2:40.47 and placing 12th overall.

Many of our athletes ran personal bests this past week.
