Important Practice Information: Below is a check list of sorts that will hopefully keep you all up to speed on what is happening the next few weeks with Bella Vista Track and Field. I will be posting practice plan updates on this page as we figure out our options in the coming weeks. The coaching staff is working very hard to create a practice environment where we don't lose any training time as we wait for our track to be available.
- You Must Be Cleared to Start Practice: Follow this link to view your clearance status. Pre-season conditioning begins Tuesday, January 22 (see below).
- Where will we practice without a track? Good question! During the first week (Jan 22 to Jan 25) we plan to meet and train at BV but we will eventually need a track to train properly. We have plans to meet at Casa Roble High School (distance runners - 800 meters, 1600m, 3200m) and Del Campo High School (field event athletes, sprinters and hurdlers) after next week but have not worked out a schedule yet. While we wait for out track to be completed, our plan is to have some workouts at BV and some at the other high schools. By early next week we should have a practice schedule out to you that extends beyond January 28 along with transportation options (I am looking into possibly getting a bus to Del Campo). Stay tuned!
- Winter Sport Athletes (Basketball, Soccer, Wrestling) If you are currently in a winter sport you must finish that season before you join the track team.
Remind.com Text Messaging with Verizon: If your phone carrier is Verizon Wireless you will no longer be able to receive text messages from Bella Vista Track and Field starting January 28, 2019. However, you can still receive the messages if you download the remind app or sign up for email messages.
Verizon raised its rates and remind.com can't afford to use them anymore. Since remind.com is free to schools we will adapt and continue to use them. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Track and Field Pre-Season Conditioning: The Bella Vista Track and Field Team will begin pre-season conditioning starting Tuesday, January 22 at 3:25 pm. Meet at BV in in front of the weight room and wear something you can work out in. You will need to be cleared through the BV athletics department before you can participate. For information on the clearance process follow this link.
It's January and it could be cold so bring a sweatshirt and sweatpants that you can warm up in and wear when you are done. We will meet every week day Monday through Friday with the exception of Monday, January 21 because of the Holiday.
Athletes who are currently in a winter sport (basketball, soccer & wrestling) need to finish the winter sport season before they can join the track team. (posted 1-8-19)
