Meet information will be posted on this site. Nothing is ever mailed.

gilgym@aol.com or mail at 5000 Fairview
Drive, Austin, Tx 78731
- If you are hosting a meet, you should contact Gil to have your
sanctioned event posted on the Region Website.
State Level
- State Information can be found at
www.region3men.org and then clicking the tab for your state on the left.
- Contact your State Chairman and give them any address and contact
information.
Within your organization
- Organize your team member's parents. Whether you create a loose or
a strong group, it is good to meet with the parents of your team members
several times a year to keep them posted on the team's progress and future
goals.
- Using the Region III Website at
www.region3men.org , make a list of the competitions that you would like
to attend and contact each of the meet directors to make sure you are either
on the mailing list or have the correct web addresses to get the information
to enter your boys into the competitions. Do not assume that you
will just begin to get meet information because you now are coaching boys.
- Now, put down your computer mouse and go coach your boys.
