GOOOOOOO MIDGETS!!!!

Hi everyone,

It looks like we may get to play in the rain again tomorrow.:)

As of right now, my apps are calling for the rain to taper off significantly by 3 pm on Wednesday. Therefore, as of right now, practice for Wednesday is ON!   Due to the possibility of light rain from 4-6pm, please plan to pick up your athlete at 5:30 instead of 6 pm tomorrow.

Thursday’s specialty practice is cancelled due to a track meet at Buena.

Please check your email tomorrow by 3:30 for any updates.

Thank you all!

Midgets  and parents,

It has been an awesome start to the 2019 Tigres season.

The Midget coaching staff has been impressed by your athletes’ attitudes and effort!  

And the fun has just begun…..

Saturday March 9th will be our Tigres Practice Meet at Buena High School. Arrival time 8:00a.m.  Meet Start time 8:30 a. m.   Estimated end time ~noonish:).

This meet will be just as the name implies- Practice.  Practice for athletes, coaches, and parent volunteers.  It is an opportunity to work out any kinks before the season kicks off on March 16th and to allow new (and seasoned) athletes and coaches to understand/remember the flow of track meets.

The practice meet is only for Tigres athletes and we will not be competing with any other team at this meet. Each group (Gremlin, Bantam, Midget, Y&I)  will only be running select events and not the full list offered at regular meets.

For the practice meet only, the events offered to Midgets will be as follows:

Hurdles- need to be cleared first which occurs at specialty practice

4×100

800

200

Shot put (field event)

For the practice meet only the maximum number of events any Midget athlete can participate in is 2 running events and 1 field event.

This does not mean that each athlete must compete in 2 running events and 1 field event.  There is no minimum number of events they must compete in, there is only a maximum number of events they can compete in.  They can compete in 1 running event and 1 field event, only 2 running events, only 1 field event…etc.

Sign up sheets for the practice meet will be available to athletes on Monday and Wednesday during practice.

If your athlete can not attend this meet, they will draw a single line through their name on the sign up sheet.

If your athlete is unable to attend Midget practices this week, please email me at midgets@venturatigres.org with their event choices.  If they plan on running the relay, I need this information by Thursday early evening or there is no guarantee that they will be on a team.

More information regarding the meet will follow later in the week as needed.

If you have questions, please email me or catch me or any of the other coaches at end of practice this week. 

With the rain and cold predicted this week, check your emails regarding practice.  No email means practice is on.  However; if it is a bit drizzly like last Wednesday, plan on practice ending at 5:30 as the rain makes relay practice, core, and other post workout activities challenging.

Thank you all!

Carol

Go Midgets!!!!!!

Parents and athletes,

What a wonderful start to our season!  Thank you athletes and coaches for your enthusiasm and effort last week.  I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

This week we will begin our regular practice schedule (see below) with our Midget team practices on Monday and Wednesday and specialty practices on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Remember to send your athlete with plenty of (labeled) layers as it gets cold quickly out there.

Please check your email throughout the week for any potential cancellations due to weather.

Go Midgets!!

Warmly,

Coach Carol

Goooo Midgets!

Please make note of the following important dates and times for this week:

Parent Meeting : Monday, February 4 at 7 pm at the Buena High School Auditorium.

First Midget Team Practice:  Wednesday, February 6th 4:30-6:00 at Buena High School Track.

More information to follow after the parent meeting.

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Warmly,

The Midget Coaches

Midget athletes and parents.
What an awesome end to our 2018 season! Our Midget athletes once again gave 100% effort in their races, relays, and field events. They set 15 PR’s, shared more laughs, cheered each other on and supported one another when outcomes were less than hoped for. As a parent, a coach, and an athlete, I find myself equally impressed with the way this group of Midget athletes handled both successes and failures. It has been both a pleasure and an honor to share their journey this season! Thank you!

For athletes that have not yet picked up their gifts from the picnic and for athletes that did not receive their medals from the CCC meet yesterday,  they will be available at Buena on Monday (5-14) from 4:30-5:30.

One last thing I forgot to mention at the picnic – If any athletes and/or parents are looking for more opportunities to run/race this summer, I encourage you to come out to the Boogie Nights Series at the Ventura Beach Promenade. The series is put on by Josh Spiker of Mile26 and supports Buena High cross country. You can run an individual race or join the series. More info can be found here.

Chance and I will be there most weeks. If your athlete wants to run but is unsure about the distance, drop me an email or text and I will happily pace them (if I can:)).

Again, thank you for a great season and I am already looking forward to next year.

Warmly,
Coach Carol

Thank you
Coach Carol

Parents and Varisty athletes,

Because there are drops and event limits in the Co-Conference Championships, we will not know who has officially qualified for this Saturday’s meet until some time on Tuesday.  So, if you came to practice last week, please plan on coming to practice on Monday.  Once we have a list of those who are able to compete on Saturday, we will publish the list.

See you all tomorrow.

Warmly,

Carol
