Track & Field Parent/Athlete Meeting

The 2012 Track & Field Parent/Athlete meeting will take place on Monday, February 6, 2012 at 7:00 pm at the Woodbridge Faculty Lounge.  The meeting will follow the spring sports parent meeting  hosted by the WHS Administration in the gym.

The Track & Field meeting will introduce the coaches to the parents, give an overview of the upcoming season and review the athlete expectations.  Additionally, at the end of the meeting, uniform authorization will be passed out.

Please make plans to attend this important meeting and be sure to bring all the forms required of each athlete in order to receive the team uniform.  The forms required can be downloaded from this web page under the Track Guide Book link.

Coach Craver

Welcome to our 2012 Track & field Team !!!!!!!!!!  We’re excited that you decided to join our team.  We have plans for a fun, rewarding and productive season.  All the coaches have enjoyed a long association with the sport and we hope that each and every one of you will adopt this activity as a life-long passion as well.  Please read the quick announcements below as well as all the other information that pertains to the conduct of our sport in the guidebook.  You need to be familiar with and follow all expectations we have of our athletes in order to be eligible to compete as a member of our team:

1.        Read the basic expectations of all of our athletes outlined in the Track & Field Guide Book posted on our web page.   Have your parents read these as well.  Print out and return the pages with personal information and signatures.

2.        Currently, many of our athletes have been working very diligently to get ready for the season.  If you are planning to participate in track & field for the coming season but are not able to do so during 6th period, plase join us after school.  a solid base will add to your enjoyment and success during the season.  

3.        Clearance cards are required to join our team and need to have turned in already to the athletics office.  If you need your physical examination to be cleared, visit your doctor or visit one of the many local Walk-In Clinics in Irvine.  Forms can be picked up in the school office.  The clinics are open on Sat and Sundays

4.        Track & Field Schedule:  The track & field meet schedule is posted on our web page.  Please check the schedule on our web page (www.gvarvas.com) for location and other specifics.  We expect all of our athletes to adjust activities in order to be present at all the meets scheduled.  Meets are scheduled on many Saturdays along with those scheduled for Thursdays.

5.        Every athlete in good standing with the team expectations will complete in the week-day meets.  As many athletes as the invitational meet managers will allow us will also compete in the Saturday meets.

6.        Uniforms will be issued to all track & field athletes that have met the team requirements on February 21, 2012 with authorization from the coach.

7.        Team lockers will be given out as needed during the first week of the new semester.  You need to have a school lock in order to be assigned a locker.  Bring in last year’s lock or go to the activities center and rent/buy a lock.  I believe the cost is still $ 4.00 and it must be done in the afternoon.  Bring me the receipt.

8.        Daily practices will begin at 2:25 sharp (every day regardless of the weather).  Athletes coming out after this time demonstrate little respect for the coaches and the other team members.

Let’s strive to be the most positive, responsible and cooperative athlete on our team or any athletic team for that matter.  Please turn in all of the items necessary to compete for Woodbridge High School track & field and be the first individual to do so!

Good luck for the season!!!!  We will try our best to make it a fun one and one that will have you perform the best you have in you!!!

Woodbridge 2011 Track and Field

2/2/2011 Track and Field

Welcome to our 2011 Track and Fieldwebsite.

  

The website is intended to provide our athletes and parents with information needed throughout the year.  

  

We think it is functional, easy to use, and contains practically everything you will need to enjoy and be informed about our program.  Initially, we wish to announce our 2011 master schedule.  

  

  

For 2011, I want to emphasize:

  

1)  The website can be directly accessed athttp://goWoodbridge.com/TF/. 

  

2)  If you are a new athlete or parent from last year's team, you should be sure to register for a user account so that you can Login to view the photos, videos, and athlete profiles of the website.  It is easy to set up.  Simply go to the User Login section below the left-side menus to "Create new account" and follow the instructions.  Once we validate your identity, you will be notified that you are activated and you can Login.  Note that only students/athletes, parents, coaches, and school administrators are eligible for a login account.

  

3)  In addition to the News that we post, be sure to check for Announcements on a daily basis.  Even if the athlete receives a paper announcement at a team meeting, the website announcements are updated if anything is changed (which it does often).

  

4)  The 2011 Track and Field Schedule is posted.  It may be modified to include any changes to meets that we add as the season progresses. 

  

5)  The Track and Field this Week and Track and Field Calendar blocks to the right are provided to detail special team events including non-routine practices, team meetings, etc. 

  

6)  The Track & Field Guide should be reviewed completely by every athlete and parent as it contains the majority of the team rules each athlete is responsible to follow in order to get full credit for the class.

  

7)  Other website features that have been favorites for our athletes (lists of our all-time records, meet results, photos, videos, etc.) are still an important part of our website and we encourage everybody to browse it at your leisure.

  

We hope that each athlete excels in our sport and that everybody enjoys the world of Woodbridge Track and Field.
