Practice:  Outdoor track practice will begin on Wednesday February 20th.  Track  Practice will begin promptly at 3:15 pm and will usually end around 5:15.

 

PARENTS MEETING - Tuesday February 12, 6:30pm in Room 108.  VERY IMPORTANT

 

Attendance: Attendance at all practices, meetings and competitions is MANDATORY.  This includes spring break week.  Excessive absences may result in suspension or dismissal from the team.  TJ competes in major meets on Saturdays.

 

Gear/Equipment:  You are expected to bring appropriate clothing and shoes to all practices and meets.  Be prepared to practice outside even in colder temperatures.  A good pair of running/training shoes is necessary.  Track spikes, while highly recommended, is not mandatory.

 

Physicals/Permission Forms:  You must have had a physical examination in order to be cleared to practice and compete.  Physicals are good for a one year period, and if it expires anytime prior to the end of our season, you will be required to get another examination.  In addition to a complete physical form, you will need to have a parent/guardian sign an athletic permission form and a TJ track rules for participation form that will be distributed on the first day of practice.

 

Preseason Conditioning: If you are not currently involved in sport it is highly recommended that you begin thinking about physically preparing yourself for the start of the season.  This can include, but not limited to, running and weight lifting.  We will be continuing out of season conditioning, Monday thru Thursday from 3:30 to 5:00pm. 

 

Uniforms/Warm-ups (FUNRAISING) : We are in the process of purchasing new Women’s uniforms and Men’s speedsuits.  However, we will need to seek alternate methods of financing the purchase of new warm-ups this year.  We will be having a fundraising meeting sometime next week.  Please listen for announcements.
