Due to a soccer game at Buena’s track on Thursday, there will NOT be specialty practice.  However, there WILL be specialty practice on Friday and we hope to see as many of you as possible.  There will be Relays, Long Jump, High Jump, Hurdles and Shot Put according the schedule located here:  https://www.venturatigres.org/practice/

Just a reminder, since it’s the first full week of practice, the Youth/Intermediate team practices together on Monday and Wednesday (4:30 to around 5:45).  Also, please take advantage of specialty practices as offered according to the schedule located here:  https://www.venturatigres.org/practice/

This week, the weather has a chance to be a challenge.  It is supposed to be cooler and windy.  When you’re in the middle of the track, that can make it seem VERY cold.  PLEASE BRING WARM CLOTHES (sweats).

Also, a reminder that if there is rain, a decision will be made by 2:00 if practice will be canceled and an email will be sent out at that time.

Looking forward to a great first full week of practices!

Just a few reminders heading into the first weekend of the season:

There is no practice on Saturday or Sunday, but please check the training plan for the recommended workouts.  Sprinters should do 10 min of easy running with 4×100 meter strides.  Distance, the top 2 groups  should be doing 4 miles and the rest of the groups should scale down from there (3 miles for B, 2 for C).  If athletes have basketball and/or soccer, that can replace the workouts.

Please consider taking advantage of the specialty days on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  Today (Friday) athletes have the opportunity to try High Jump, Long Jump, Relays, Shot Put or Hurdles.

Remember to do your homework!  Check out the team page, training plan and remember to fill out goal sheets and turn them in at practice on Monday.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email youth@venturatigres.org or call/text 650-678-3681.

A bit of an unconventional start to the season due to the location change and some fog rolling in, but it was great to see the Youth Intermediate team.  I know the coaches were all thrilled with positive attitudes of everyone – this is going to be an AMAZING year!

We covered a ton of information with the team, but here are a few things to note:

• Specialty practices are starting tomorrow.  Please see the schedule of options at: https://www.venturatigres.org/practice/  We strongly encourage all sprinters to do one of the Speed Development sessions on Thursdays and the distance runners to do the Recovery Run on Thursdays.  Please take advantage of these specialty days to try new things.
• The first homework assignment for the team is to get on the team page (YTH&INT 13-16) and look over the training plan located on the left hand of the page.  Athletes should familiarize themselves with this page so they will know what we will be doing every day.
• The second homework assignment is to fill out the goal sheet, also located on the left hand of the the YTH& INT team page.  Fill it out and bring it turn it in to the coaches at practice.  It is really great to look back at them at the end of the year and hopefully when they are old like their coaches, they will look back at these goal sheets with some great memories.

We hope all the athletes had a great time and can’t wait to see everyone at the next practice.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email youth@venturatigres.org or call/text 650-678-3681

Due to a Buena soccer game, Tigres will not have access to the track for tomorrow’s practices. We will still meet at Buena High School but instead on the grass adjacent to the far end of the Buena parking lot. Please see the below map for details.

Please have your athlete use the restroom before practice as we are unsure about the restroom situation due to finals week at Buena.

Parents may stay on the parking lot side of the fence to observe practice.

Practice will only last until 5:45 pm due to a lack of lights.

See you Wednesday!

Our first practice is tomorrow (Wednesday @ 4:30 until 5:45).  Unfortunately, due to a soccer game at the track, we are going to be holding practice at another location.  Please look for another email later today with the specifics (sorry for the short notice).

The first practice is going to mostly be a time for us to meet as a team and set the expectations for the season.  Please come to practice wearing comfortable athletic clothes and shoes.

The coaching team can’t wait to see the returning athletes and meet the new athletes on the Youth/Intermediate team.  We are going to have a GREAT season!
