We are excited for another great season of Panther Track and Field! The official start to the season is Tuesday... out at the track after school. During our first week or two, our biggest goal will be to help each of you decide which events you want to focus on by introducing you to a variety of events. Our great coaching staff will start teaching you the basics and getting well on your way to a fun and successful season.
Registration: Everyone needs to do their registermyathlete in the next week (found at registermyathlete.com). If you have competed in a sport at PVHS this school year, this will be an easy few clicks of the button and you'll be done. If you haven't competed in a sport this year, you will also need to get your PHYSICAL. This needs to be done ASAP. And finally, everyone needs to get his/her PARTICIPATION FEE paid. This can be done at PVHS, through registermyathlete, or at myschoolfees.com (I think). All these steps must be complete by the end of next week.
Meet Schedule: Check out the 2019 schedule on the link to the right.
Schedule for the Week:
Monday - distance runners: long run, meet at the double churches at 8:00a
Tuesday - First day of practice; 3:00 at PVHS (distance runners have weights at 6:15a-6:45 - others on the team are invited to join us as well)
Wednesday - Friday - regular practice schedule
Athletes in Other Sports: Those of you are still finishing up a season, keep on doing great things. See you when your season is over. Those who finished recently, come on out to practice (even if you need a few days to recover before you get started, come out to practice and meet the coaches and the team, let us know your plans, and get your registration done).
Important Announcement for the PV Invite... please read... The dance has been moved to the Saturday of the PV Invite. It is imperative that ALL athletes are at the meet Friday and Saturday to help at the meet (on other dance/meet days, we will try and work schedules out as best as possible, but this time you MUST be there). So please plan your day date (or tell your dance date) with this in mind. Saturday meet clean up usually finishes by 2:00p. I know this is a pain, but PLEASE plan on being available to help.
Thought of the Week: "The beginning is the most important part of the work." - Plato
Right... you gotta start somewhere. And if you haven't yet, the time is now. Something that is tough to see as a teacher and coach is young students/athletes who are too afraid to start something. We all want to be great; but often we are afraid that we won't be great at the beginning, so we never start. However, once we realize that the actual start is the most important part of the process to whatever level of greatness we may achieve, we can set those fears aside and get on with the journey. And that is what the beginning of a season is in so many ways - the opportunity to set aside fears and get on the path to becoming our best selves. So... lace 'em up and let's get going - together; as Panthers!
