Hello 8U Tigres Families,

The kids are doing awesome and there were a lot of PRs (personal record) this past Saturday! You can check your child’s progress on https://www.athletic.net/team/47207/track-and-field-outdoor/2026

  • Practice this week: Tuesday (3/17) and Thursday (3/19) as usual.
  • Event sign‑ups: Please sign up for events as soon as possible, preferably at Tuesday’s practice. Sign‑ups will always be on the sign‑in clipboard. Athletes may run 3 running events plus long jump.
  • Relays: Relay teams require 4 athletes. It is not always possible to form a full team, and your child may not be able to run even if they signed up. I will always do my best to keep this process fair. If your child is signed up for a relay and you are running late or will miss the meet, it is very important that you notify me as soon as possible.
  • This Saturday’s meet:
    • Location: Buena High School
    • Arrival time: 7:45 AM
    • On‑time arrival is very important so we can manage last‑minute relay changes and get long jump started as soon as possible.
    • Order of events: https://www.venturatigres.org/order-of-events/
  • Meet absences: If your child will not be at the meet, please let me know (no need to notify me if they will miss practice).
  • Leaving early: If your child needs to leave early and will miss an event they signed up for, please notify one of the coaches so we don’t spend time looking for them.
  • Track access: Parents are not allowed on the track while watching their children unless it is part of an assigned volunteer role. There will be team parents at the 8U popup tent who can go onto the track to find kids or coaches if needed.

You can text me at 805‑794‑7985 with any updates related to meet attendance or relays.

Thanks,
Coach Chris
