New Year, New Faces, New Season(s)

Welcome back!!!

Excitement is building as the 2015 indoor and outdoor seasons approach.  Schedules and plans are being finalized as the days count down.  Both the indoor and outdoor schedules, as they currently are, have been posted to the website - www.sjatrackandfield.blogspot.com.  There will certainly be revisions, but it is a good starting point for those of you making plans ahead of time.

New this year is an overnight trip during the indoor season to Ohio State on Feb 6-7.  We will only be taking a limited crowd based on entry restrictions, so show up and show out if you want to make that trip.  There will be some extra cost to cover hotel $ as this is not currently in the budget.

During outdoors we will again be hosting the Jaguar Invite at Fairview HS.  It falls on the day before Easter, which is unfortunate, but goes with the territory of spring sports.  We will be looking for help from parent volunteers to help at field events, the finish line, entrance, and t-shirts.  The sooner you know you can help, please speak up!

Starting with indoors, individual weekly schedules will be posted.  Please note specific event people may have changes according to their event coach - know your plan!!  Ignorance and lack of paying attention are not excuses - ask Johnny Manziel!  haha

Indoor practices will generally meet on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays unless the weather or school schedule dictates otherwise.

Indoor (and outdoor to some extent) meets can be time-consuming. Bring your homework and perhaps set it up with parents/friends to get a ride home at the conclusion of your event.  For INDOOR we do not enforce a policy where everyone has to stay for every event - as a matter of fact we try to schedule on the early events so we can head home sooner. 

Outdoor practices meet every day and even on holidays/vacation days except St. Patrick's Day. 

For all practices indoors and out all athletes need to have proper gear - we will try to practice outside if its at all reasonable (or even slightly unreasonable)!

Happy New Year!
