Bella Vista Track and Field 2008… All Your Questions Answered

When Do We Start?

• We will be starting mandatory pre-season conditioning starting on Tuesday, January 22 at 3:05 pm (conditioning schedule).  A schedule of conditioning days can be found at www.bvtrack.com.  We will meet at the track and our workout should last about one to one and a half hours.  The official season begins on Monday, February 11.  Practice will be every weekday at 3:05 pm sharp.  Practice will end between 4:30 and 5:30 depending on your event.  Everyone makes the team - there are no cuts.  A meet schedule can be found on the web site at www.bvtrack.com.

What Events Can I Do In Track and Field?

• 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, 4 x 400 meter relay.  The field events we compete in are the high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault, shot put, 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.

Where Do I Sign-Up?

• At the sign up meeting December 11 or if you know anyone who missed the meeting let them know they can sign up with Coach U anytime.

What About Physical Clearance?

• Before you can practice with the team (starting January, 22) you must complete and turn in a clearance packet.  Clearance packets can be picked up from the attendance office.  The packet includes a physical evaluation form, steroid form, transportation form, team participation form, and BV athletic policy.  After you have gotten your physical from a doctor and you and your parents have filled out all of the forms in the packet return it back to the attendance office and in about 24 - 48 hours you can return and get your gold clearance slip from the attendance secretary.  Bring the gold clearance slip to the coaching staff and you will be cleared to practice.

• If you have already completed the clearance packet for the 2007-2008 school year fall or winter sport just go to the attendance office and they will give you the clearance slip to bring to the coaches.  This also takes about 24 – 48 hours to process.

What Kind Of Grades Do I Need?

• You must have a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better with no F’s and a citizenship GPA of 2.0 to compete in any sport at Bella Vista.  A grade check will be done based on your report card at the semester.  If you do not meet the above standards you will be ineligible for 3 weeks in which you will be expected to get your grades up.  You will be able to practice during this time but not compete.

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!!!

Remember – Get your physical done before January 22! Make sure your grades are not slipping!!!

Good luck this season!  Go Broncos!!!
