MIDGETS TEAM PAGE (11-12)

Parents,

Thank you for your patience tonight.  We kept your kids out there until the last bit of light was gone:)

As you know, our practice meet is on Saturday and many of the athletes want to run the 4×100 relay.

We gave a very quick introduction of the relay to athletes that have never run the race before and a quick refresher course for those that have not run the relay since last season.

There is a lot to learn and we are impressed with their attention and effort.  Unfortunately, we simply do not have enough time during our regular team practices to adequately teach the relay.

Therefore, we highly encourage you to bring your athletes to specialty practice Tuesday from 5:15-6 and/or Friday 4:30-5:15 or 5:15-6 to allow them more time to practice the relay.

Meet sign up sheets will be available all week at practice.

Thank you!

Warmly,

The Midget Coaching Staff

Midgets and parents,

It has been an awesome start to the 2018 Tigres season.

The Midget coaching staff has been impressed by your athletes’ attitudes and effort!
And the fun has just begun…..

Saturday March 3th will be our Tigres Practice Meet at Buena High School.- Please notice the start time of 2:30 p.m.

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 10th 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 are 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, 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 row.

If your athlete is unable to attend Midget practices this week, please email me with their event choices.

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 the start or end of practice. Please note that I need to leave early this Wednesday, but the rest of the Amazing Midget coaching staff will be available.

Practice should end closer to 6:00 this week. It will still be cold, so please get sending the warm clothes.

Thank you all!

Go Midgets!!!!!!

Hi parents and athletes,
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

News for this week:

We WILL have practice on Monday even though schools are closed.

The weather is expected to cool down even more starting tomorrow and wind is projected, so please send your athletes with warm clothes.

Expect practice to end closer to 5:45 this week.

Remember that specialty practices are available on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. These practices are a great time to try new events, learn or improve your relay skills, work on strength and work on speed. I hope to see you all out there.

Please take a look at the links are on the left hand side of the Midgets’ team page. There you can find our training plan to see what the workouts are for the week and what your athlete can do over the weekend if she/he chooses. There are also some good running related links and I will be added more video with examples of drills to help athletes get a better understanding of form.

Thank you all!

Warmly,
Coach Carol

Dear parents,

Due to a Buena soccer game, we will not have access to the track tomorrow. We will instead meet on the grass adjacent to the far end of the track parking lot- please see the attached map for details.
Practice will end by ~5:45 tomorrow, as we will be losing light by then.
Looking forward to seeing all of your athletes!

Warmly,
Coach Carol
