We are looking forward to seeing all of the Tigres families this coming Monday evening (February 1st) at 6:00 for our first ever pre-season parent meeting. We hope to see ALL Tigres Families – new & returning – but we especially encourage all new families to attend. By knowing what to expect, you will get the best experience out of your first season with Tigres.
Please note there is a location change. We will now be meeting in the small theatre at Buena High School (not at the track). As part of the meeting we will be covering the topics listed below.
- Communication: When communicating with a team of 300 athletes, there can be hiccups – so we will make sure you are signed up to get the information fast and where to go if you have questions.
- Practice info: including an overview of the new practice schedule
- Meet info: how to prepare, when are your athletes events, how long are the meets
- Volunteering: Your role as a volunteer. And yes, it really is a requirement – for every family with a one or more athletes registered.
- Refund Policy: We will review the refund policy so its clear going into the first week of practice and to the first meet.
- Uniforms/Apparel: Cost, and what is required at meets.
After the overall parent meeting, each age group will be breaking out to have their own parent meeting with the head coaches. During this meeting, the coaches will be talking about information specific to their age group.
Also, there will be some apparel available for purchase!
***IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ANY FAMILY REGISTERING AN ATHLETE FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON***
NO EXCEPTIONS – we MUST validate D.O.B. for all new athletes before they participate in practice.
With first practices starting Feb 8th, you have just under two weeks to provide a copy of birth certificate. Our goal is to not have any athletes miss their first practice(s) as a result of not having been verified.
To satisfy this requirement prior to participating in practice, you can:
- Email a scanned or cell phone snap of it to registration@venturatigres.org
- Upload to our registration portal (registration.venturatigres.org) where you registered online. (NOTE: Blue Sombrero who provides the registration portal lets us look at the birth certificate uploads ONE time and immediately deletes it from their servers).
- Bring a copy (or original) to the parent meeting on February 1st (we DO NOT need to keep a copy, we only need to see it for verification).
IF you have lost/misplaced your child’s birth certificate and are in the process of getting a duplicate, you must let us know now. We will work with that and/or suggest alternate forms of identification with D.O.B. clearly listed. If after the first week of practice we haven’t verified DOB for your athlete, your registration may be at risk of being cancelled.
