Feb. 27 - Mar. 4

Great to see so many new faces at our first week. Keep working on getting your friends out. It's not too late to start, but we are only just over a week out from our first meets, so the time to start is now. Thanks to those who came out to Spike Night hosted by the St. George Running Center (and congrats to all those who won prizes). Thanks so much to all those who participated and helped with the Mr. PVHS Fun Run. It's great to do a couple activities to help raise funds for Hayden and his family.

Wednesday is our fundraiser day! We need to get hyped and involved with this... DHells did something like this and raised over $20,000; and our fundraiser guy say we could easily expect a similar amount if everyone will participate! This weekend, parents and athletes sit down together and go through your contacts and come up with 30+ people who would have a high probability of donating (and it doesn't have to be huge - $20-$50 donations add up quick when the whole team is participating). Then on Wednesday we will enter those numbers/emails into the computer and info will be sent out - you don't have to sell anything, no going door to door, no face to face stuff; just names and numbers/emails that we can contact. It is an EXPECTATION that EVERYONE PARTICIPATE. (If you haven't grabbed the paperwork that explains this yet, make sure you get it Monday). 

TEAM STORE IS UP - we are going to close the orders on Monday, Feb. 27th. Nothing is required from this store, it is all optional spirit pack gear for athletes, parents and friends! We'll talk uniform stuff next week.

A few things that we need to get done:

• Registermyathlete - you MUST have your registration done to come to "tryouts" (that means you have to get this done to start practice). Log in to your account (or make an account if you have not participated in a sport at Pine View) and go through all the documents, click everything, and sign everything. MUST BE DONE TO PARTICIPATE IN PRACTICE!
• Physical - you MUST also have a physical from this current school year on file at PVHS. If you already have participated in a sport this school year, you are all good. If you haven't, contact your doctor and let them know you need a sport physical and usually they can get you in very quick to complete the physical and fill out the paperwork. MUST BE DONE TO PARTICIPATE IN PRACTICE! 
• Participation Fee must be paid by the beginning of the week of our first meet. 
• Athletes and Parents - in place of a Parent Meeting, please look through this short slide show and review the policies and practices of PV Track and Field.
