We excited for an awesome track season! We have great athletes and a great coaching staff in place. As a coaching staff we are committed to working with your athletes at practice Monday through Thursday and at our four track meets. We hope that your athletes can make the same committments as our coaching staff. Our committment expectations are outlined below and we hope that these will work out for your athlete and family.
Track Commitment
Track Commitment Philosophy
We are very excited about our upcoming season. One factor that I would like to address before you consider track is the commitment your athlete is willing to make to become a better track athlete and to help out our program. Over the past few seasons we have tried many approaches to accommodating multiple activity athletes. Each of our approaches has been met with varying levels of success. What has been consistent for our most successful and fulfilled athletes is being at all of the practices and all of the meets. Doing this allows us as a coaching staff to prepare our athletes for the events that they will be competing in giving them a more enjoyable experience. Low attendance often causes stressed out athletes at the track meets. Missing practices not only affects our athletes but makes it hard for our coaches.
As coaches we struggle to prepare our athletes for the competitions when athletes are not at practice. In addition to preparedness, many of the behavior problems that occurred throughout the past seasons were athletes who became disconnected to the program and their teammates due to reduced attendance. We hope that by expecting high attendance we can have a super fun and fulfilling season for both the athletes as well as our coaching staff.
This season (2025) we expect our athletes to commit to attending practices Monday through Thursday. If a student-athlete is unable to attend a practice due to an illness or prior scheduled commitment, please let us know. However, athletes must attend at least two practices to participate in that week’s meet.
Please communicate with us if you have multiple practices/sports you are involved in and we are happy to work with you to make it all work!
