Coed Track and Field (open to seventh and eighth grade students):
The season runs from the first week in April to the third week of May. Athletes will participate in running events (100m hurdles, 100m dash, 1600m run, 800m relay, 400m dash, 400m relay, 200m dash, and 1600m relay) and/or field events (shot put, discus, long jump, and/or high jump). Each athlete may compete in no more than four events in any given competition. All athletes will participate in five track meets, and some of the athletes will be chosen to compete in two additional invitational meets. Our emphasis is on having fun, learning about the sport, developing skills, improving technique, and having more fun.
Coaching Philosophy:
We have a no cut policy, which dictates that all athletes will make the team, and all athletes will play in each game.
Playing time is fair, not necessarily equal. Factors that contribute to playing time include academics (F-list), work ethic at practice, ability to improve, hustle, and attitude.
Our coaches check their egos at the door. We strive to ensure success for each athlete but do not necessarily equate success to wins and losses.
We attempt to bring as many athletes to our high school programs as possible.
We want the middle school athletic experience to be positive, and we want all of our kids to go out for the sport the next year.
We attempt to coach, teach, and develop fundamental skills and concepts with all of our athletes.
