Bella Vista Track and Field 2011… Frequently Asked Questions

• When do we start practice?  We will be starting pre-season conditioning on Tuesday, January 18 at 3:10 pm.  A schedule of pre-season conditioning days can be found by clicking here.  Starting January 19 we will meet at the track and our workout should last about an hour to an hour and a half.  The official season begins on Monday, February 7.  Starting February 7 practice will be every weekday at 3:10 pm sharp and will end between 4:30 and 5:30 depending on your event.  Everyone makes the team - there are no cuts.  A season schedule of meets can be found by clicking here.

• What events can I do in track and field at BV?  High School track and field consists of 16 events for both boys and girls.  On the track we run the 100 meters, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, 1600 m, 3200 m, 100 m hurdles (girls), 110 m hurdles (boys), 300 m hurdles, 4 x 100 meter relay, and 4 x 400 meter relay.  The field events we compete in are the high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault, shot put, and discus.  We compete in varsity competition (Juniors and Seniors) and frosh/soph competition (Freshmen and Sophomores).  By rule you can compete in no more than 4 events (including relays) and it is a team rule that you must compete in at least two individual events.

• What if I missed sign-ups?  If you missed or know someone who missed the sign-ups on December 8 tell them you can always sign up with Coach U anytime. You can also email your sign-up information to Coach U at daveu@surewest.net.  Include in your email your first and last name, parents/guardians names, home phone number, parents email address.

• How do I get cleared to participate?  To receive clearance to start practice with the track and field team you must first read the Bella Vista Athletic Policy Handbook, complete the Athletic Clearance Packet, and then submit your completed packet to the athletic director (Mrs. Bebout - room A2).  Bella Vista Athletic Policy Handbooks and clearance packets can be viewed and downloaded at our team website www.bvtrack.com. Note that you will have to get a physical exam from a doctor.

• If you have already completed and submitted the policy signature form for a 2010-2011 school year fall or winter sport you do not need to go through this process again.  Remember that if you are in a winter sport (basketball or wrestling) you must complete the winter sport season before you can participate in track and field.

• What kind of grades do I need to participate in sports at BV?  You must have a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better with no more than one F, and a citizenship GPA of 2.0 to compete in any sport at Bella Vista.  For more information on academic requirements see page 6 of the BV Athletic Handbook.

• Any other challenges coach?  Everyone is responsible for recruiting one person other than themselves to try Track and Field.  Everyone knows by now that we win with numbers.  See what you can do!!!
