Track and Field Starts

 

If you missed the athlete/parent meeting on January30th, here are some of the items discussed.  Agenda

Those of you who are coming out for Track and Field, practices start  February 27th at 3:00 p.m. on the Track.  We will meet in the weight room at 2:50 p.m.. High schoolers need to make sure they are on time and 9th graders need to get there ASAP.  We will have practice everyday until 5:00 p.m..  Watch the weather to see how you should dress throughout each week.  You are expected to make practice a priority everyday, not being at practices and communicating with the coaches could results in you being cut from the team.  Communicate any and all reasons you might miss a practice with the coaching staff.  Note: If RMA is not competed and ready for tryouts, you will not be allowed at practice.

Also, be aware that many athletes have been out training for several weeks and even since the new year.  We invited all to come out to Indoor Track and Pre-season practices so you could get in shape for the season.  Those who chose not to do this for whatever reason need to be aware that coaches will not being going light on anyone once we start the season.  It is go time for everyone and you will need to be ready and take care of your bodies so you don't get injured.  

If you are coming out after being cut from another spring sport, you will need to do this immediately, the first week of practice.

Eligibility -  Everyone is expected to have registermyathlete completed before coming out Monday for practice, this includes adding your 2nd quarter report card and a current physical.  Once you have finished RMA (Ready for Tryouts for Track and Field) and we have a roster, fees will be added to skyward you will be allowed to pay your fees of $100 for participation and the $60-$80 for your uniform.  These fees will not be added to skyward to pay online, or in the Main Office, until RMA is completed and the season has started.  You will have until March 3rd to complete all eligibility requirements, but please do not wait until the last minute.  Fees will need to be paid before the first competition. Make sure to sign up for either Boy's Track or Girl's Track and not Unified. See the links below:

Uniforms - There will be a fee of $60-$80 once the season starts.  This can be paid in the main office or on skyward.  Again, you must have completed your eligibility in order to receive your uniform.  Coach Barnes will give uniforms out at practice the second week.  We are getting new jerseys this season and everyone will need one ($55-$60).  If your uniform bottoms are still in good condition from last year and still fit properly, then you do not need to purchase another one.  If you need a part of a uniform (jersey) then you should talk to Coach Barnes, but everyone that gets a full uniform will pay about $80.  Uniforms are for competing only and should not be worn at practices!  Old uniforms may be worn at practice.

Spike Night- Good training shoes, and spikes for racing and competing are very important.  Run Gr8 Running Center in Riverton will do two Spike nights for us March 6^th – March 7^th ,this will be a good time to buy spikes and/or new trainers at a team discounted price (20%-25% off shoes, spikes and gear).  Parents and family can get the same discounts that night.

Spirit Packs - The team store will be available this week for those who did not get team gear before.  Once it closes the items will be ordered.  Plan on about 4 weeks once the store closes to receive your items.   HERE is the current link.
