Hello Parents –

If your athlete has a pair of spikes they plan on using this year, please be sure they bring them to practice moving forward.  For those that stay on the track, we will start training with them.

See you this afternoon!

Coach Kevin

Hello Parents –

We have our practice track meet this upcoming Saturday, March 3rd.  The purpose of the practice meet is to help the volunteers learn their meet responsibilities and allow the athletes to become familiar with the flow of a track meet.  Only Tigres are participating in this practice meet.  Because it is practice only, each age group will be able to participate in a limited number of events.  For Bantams, these events are the following:

• 4x100m relay
• 1600m
• 400m
• 100m
• Long Jump

For this meet, athletes can sign up for a maximum of three events, with no more than two running events.  The only field event available to Bantam athletes in this meet is the long jump.  If your athlete plans to participate in the long jump, I would strongly recommend that they attend at least one of the long jump specialty practices this week (Thursday or Friday, see https://www.venturatigres.org/practice/) to get familiar with the long jump.  As with any other event, it’s always a good idea to practice an event first before trying it at a meet.

There will be a sign up sheet available at practice Monday and Wednesday for athletes to sign up for their events this weekend.  Please encourage your athlete to sign up for their own events, as this will help them to remember their events for this weekend.  If your athlete is not at practice this week, you can email me his/her events for this weekend.

Please feel free to call/text or email me with any questions or concerns.

Looking forward to this weekend!

Hello Parents –

Just a reminder that although today is a holiday, we will still practice at Buena.  Please remember to have your athletes bring water and sweats to the track – it looks like it will be cool again this week.

If you are out of town and won’t be there, be safe in your travels, and we’ll see you Tuesday (at specialty practice) or Wednesday.

Coach Kevin

Hello Parents –

Specialty practices are cancelled for tomorrow (Thursday, 2/15) due to a Buena High Soccer game.  Specialty practices will resume on Friday, 2/16, according to the schedule (https://www.venturatigres.org/practice/).

I hope all your athletes had a great first full week of practice –  Looking forward to next week!

If you have any questions, I can be contacted at bantams@venturatigres.org.  You can also call/text to 805-797-5774

Coach Kevin

Hello Parents –

Just a reminder that we will be at the Buena track tomorrow and Wednesday for practice.  Be sure to have your athlete bring a sweatshirt and/or sweatpants tomorrow for the end of practice.  It looks like we’ll have some cooler evenings and I’d like to make sure the athletes stay warm.

Also, only water is allowed on the Buena track – no other drinks such as gatorades, etc. – and no food as well.  I’d recommend a bag of some type for your athlete to pack their things.  Remember to label their items – the lost and found bin grows exponentially as the season moves on!

Looking forward to a great week of practice!

Coach Kevin

Hello Parents –

Due to a Buena Soccer Game, we will not have access to the track.  Our practice location has changed for today (Wednesday) only.  Please see the map below for the location.  We will end around practice around 5:45PM since we will not have lights.

See you then!

Coach Kevin

Hello Parents –

I hope that everyone is ready for another track season!  We have our parent meeting tonight, and our first day of practice is scheduled for this Wednesday.  For those of you that will be there tonight, I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can.  For those that can’t make it, I’ve attached an information letter for parents.  For returning families, much of this will be familiar; for new families, hopefully it will help answer any questions you may have.

See you tonight!

Coach Kevin
