Track and Field
Track and Field practice starts the first of March and continuing through around mid May, which is the regular season end. The first track meet start at or about the first Saturday in April. Track meets are held on Saturdays, starting at 8:30 a.m. continuing until around 3:00 p.m. The Track season usually continues until mid May, culminating with the IEC League Finals. Regular Season is followed by post-season competition for qualifying athletes. Our season end with the NVGB picnic/banquet and is around the second Saturday or Sunday in June.

Gremlins practice will be annouced. Parents are asked to be present 20 minutes prior to practice dismissal to ensure the safety of all athletes leaving practice and that all athletes are picked up at the proper time.

Normal practice schedule will start April 1, 2008. All practices are at Sylmar High School. Gremlins on Monday and Wednesday. Bantams,Midgets, Youth & Intermediate will be Monday, Wednesday & Thursday.

Normally the first couple of weeks of practice are group practice, with athletes running together as a group with fellow teammates. After the first few weeks, the athletes will disperse with their respective coaches to practice certain events (such as sprints, distance, jumps, etc.)

Each athlete needs to report to practice a minimum of two (2) nights per week, and on Saturdays. The more time the athlete is able to practice will enable the to perform better on meet day competition. The nights he/she practices depends on the Age group and the events the athlete wants to participate in. The coaches will assist the athletes in making a decision on which events the athlete will participate in. If you have any questions concerning the training or schedule, contact your coach.
