REMINDER, TOMM. TUES. MAY 21, 3:15-4:00 AWARDS

Well, we made it! What a great Track & Field season, with much learning, many personal bests and school records set. 

We coaches want to end the season by the distribution of awards, medals and closing thoughts. We have unsuccessfully been able to get a scheduled day in chapel to do so, so we decided to do a brief  after school get-together. We realize schedules are crazy this time a year and understand if you cannot make it, but we would love to have y'all in attendance, along with your parents, if they wish to attend, for recognition, end of year business, and snack.  The date is set for TUESDAY, MAY 19th, 3:15-4:00 in the high school courtyard/apron area.

We will be collecting your uniforms which include: shirt, shorts (And compressions if varsity) Please be sure to launder and put in quart-size zip lock bag in which it came, with size and number of uniform clearly marked on bag. If uniform is not handed in you will be responsible for the fee to replace portion or entire uniform. 

Also, if you attended Varsity Regional Meet and haven’t paid hotel room portion of $25.00, please bring a check at this time made out to STE Athletics. 

If for some reason you cannot be there, below are the 

We look forward to “Bragging on you” and ending such a great season with some good fellowship and encouragement!  See you Tuesday.

Congrats to all of our athletes who made it through to Regionals & to Benton, Saagar, & Jian for making it to State! Couple things: We were taken off the schedule of awards in chapel for this Thursday :( I have tried everything I know to get a chapel date in which to recognize our athletes, but just can't seem to get the OK. So what we might do is plan a aday where we coaches come up for lunch, give you awards and put an email out to school recognizing you athletes for your performances. Again, I am sorry, that the chapel schedule can not accommodate us.

This day we will also collect your (Washed) uniforms. I will get with you with a date in the next week. We will leave for State Thursday at 11:00 am (Benton, Saagar, Jian.) and return late Saturday. Athletes who did not pay their $25.00 for Regional hotel room, please get to Coach Harrell or myself asap.It's been a great season and yall have been such a Blessing to us!

REMINDER Track pics & practice right after school!. dress in uniform QUICKLY; pics i frot of chapel. Then we will practice immediately after. Relay team must be there!

Track Practice CANCELED Today. Track is flooded... We will practice tomm right after school 3:30-5:00. Be changed & ready, in gym,to head out for Bayou. We will do resistance, muscle work after run. THIS is NOT a OPTIONAL practice! Thursday may be rained so, so we only have 2 days practice before the all important DISTRICT meet! See yall tomm 3:30 prompt!  Benton is planninng to get a run in at the Bayou today if not too wet. Yall are welcome to join him, but please be safe and careful with wet conditions, we cant afford any injuries the wk before District! 

Practice 2day, Mon April 13 is ON, but be at bus by 4:40, so hopefully can leave earlier to be at track earlier to avoid rain due to creep in at 6:00.

Ok Team...we are seriously down to the wire with possibility as little as 2-3 practices before District , where it's do or die!  These last practices WILL be the key to moving on after Districts! I would like to see yall move onto Regionals, but you have to want it yourself & put the dedication & work in to achieve it! On that note, This week's weather looks pretty grim, with rain & thunderstorms possible daily. We can run i the light rain, however, if it is thunder storming or lightening, it is not safe to do so. I will be watching weather every hour to make daily decisions by 2:00 each day.  I am working on trying to get the bus and the track at the earlier hour of 4:30 on Monday. PLEASE check your texts emails & this site to get updated alerts.  1 day we can utilize the gym with vertimax & muscle work (Likely Wednesday if weather bad that day). 

Team pictures were scheduled for tomorrow, Monday immediately after school, however Coach Jenn & I are unable to make it there Monday or Tuesday right after school, so we are hoping they will accommodate us for Weds after school. Either way, bring your uniform & meet in atrium after school. (Maybe you can talk them into waiting until Weds :)

I will have full details of end of the year events I will e distributing this week...let's all hope to go all the way to State!

Coaches,

Bring Rain Gear!!! We are set to run tomorrow! We have been monitoring the weather and the forecast. It looks like only a 20% chance of rain in the morning with a chance of thunderstorms starting about 1 or 2 pm. We will evaluate the horizontal jump pits by 7:30 in the morning, but with the amount of rain currently falling and the amount forecasted tonight, our contingency plan will probably come in to play.

Our contingency plan is to cancel all field events and start running events BY 9:15 am. We will be on a rolling schedule starting with the 3200 and rolling straight into the 4x100, so on and so forth.

If at anytime during the meet our lightning monitor is triggered, an air horn will sound and all athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators, must find shelter (bus, van, or car). There is not enough room in the field house or press box for everyone. We are required to take a thirty minute break from the last lightning strike before taking the track again. We will have a 15 minute warm-up period and start rolling again.

Please remember that tents (CANNOT be used as shelter during a lightning delay) may be set up on the west side of the field, outside of the fence by the long jump pits. No camping on the in-field or in the field house.

We look forward to a fun meet tomorrow! Please let me know if you have any questions.
 

Yall worked yr butts off yesterday! Great workout & so much fun we had! Reminder that TODAY at practice we will race for time to place on relay teams. If you wish to be on relay team this week's meet, be there to get time. Also, we will be race simulating today; getting times, & field events. Hurdlers will hurdle also.

Below is Saturday's meet information: Bus leave STE, 7:45  We WILL go out to eat afterwards, if it means Coach Fisher drives out of the way to be on bus! Many of you are taking practice AP test, and some will be out of town We need team support of ALL who will be here to participate in their events, so we as a team can go for points. We will be missing Jian, Isaiah, Timothy, Rafael, who are top point achievers in their field & running events, so the rest of need to pull together and "Take one for the team"..That's what a team player does. IF you are taking the AP practice test, please DO COME AFTERWARDS, as running events won't begin until 12:30 ish & you still have time to participate.THIS is your last meet before DISTRICTS, where it's Do or GO HOME, and  NEXT week looks like a complete rain out all week, so really take advantage of today & Sat meet as possible last practices! I am trying to seek indoor places for next week to practice; any suggestions welcome. Looking forward to see yall this afternoon....and YES, I'm bringing brownies, like I promised :)

Congrats to those of you who participating in meet this Saturday; I'm so proud of you, most of you, your 1st varsity meet; brings things into reality in our training and pays off the hard work you put in. You can see the importance of working your program every day to succeed. Unlike many other sports, track is a multi-training sport, whereas everyday is a different workout designed to work different aspects of your running and/or field event. Each event has specific training aspects in developing different skills and muscle coordinations.This week is a little of crazy schedule with Presb track being utilized for hosting JH meet and rain/cold due to invade us, but below is our tentative schedule.

Wednesday: Varsity Meeting/Vertimax Muscle Strength afterwards.

Dear Parents & Track Athletes:

The season is off to a great start! With currently 27 varsity and 26 JH athletes, we are continuing to grow in numbers each week, and our team talent and spirit is incredible. The first two weeks were spent conditioning, preparing our bodies for upcoming training and competing, team bonding and goal setting mixed in with a whole lot of fun!  We have learned  a lot about proper stretching techniques, drills to strengthen our joints and muscles, injury prevention, signs and treatments. We also have established quite a team bond and strong leadership qualities. (Oh, the athlete's faces when I told them, “I’m really starting to like y’all a bit”) Honestly, I, along with my amazing fellow coaches have really enjoyed these sweet kiddos and are looking forward to the continuation of  training , getting to know them individually and watching them flourish! I’ve encouraged your athlete to adapt the stretches and drills learned to their daily routine to prevent injuries and strengthen joints and muscles. They have hand-outs which I suggested they file in a binder for reference. 

 I want to touch on a couple of things as we begin our active training. Beginning next Monday, Feb. 2, we will be following the schedule bellow. A monitored study hall will be held from 3:15-5:00 (Room not yet assigned,but will be announced Monday). ALL JH track athletes are required to attend, if they plan on taking the bus to and from track practice. Varsity athletes are welcome to take the bus also,(Bus leaving promptly 5:00), but aren’t required to attend study hall; however we coaches will be firm insisting self-discipline in using their time wisely to complete homework and study, as to keep grades up.  The bus will be leaving Presbyterian School to head back to STE at 7:15, pulling into STE lot approximately 7:30. Please pick your athlete up on time. 

M,T,R: bus to Presbyterian School 9100 South Freeway, Houston 77051 practice 5:30-7:15

W:       Willowbend Soccer field 3:45-5:15.Bus leave STE 3:30, parent pick up at field.

Some Wednesdays and/or rain days we may opt to work out at school. We will give notice by night before at latest.

Secondly, I have talked to all athlete’s who have medical notations on their record. I want to be well aware of all my athlete’s conditions and take proper precautions in advance if attention is needed. I have talked to many of you parents, but hope to call remainder of you whom I have not, to briefly chat to be sure of your child’s safety during season. Rest assured, these are our “Babies” during season, and we will treat them just as our own. 

I will carry a zippered pouch to every practice and meet, in which we will hold all inhalers, epipen injectors, diabetic snack of choice,(Labeled with name) and  individual medications. I am asking that all be clearly labeled with athlete’s name. The medical forms will be carried at all times.  We coaches are educated on how to handle these situations and administer steps to be taken if emergency exists. I am also Red Cross CPR certified. We certainly pray we all have a safe, non-eventful season, however, I do take your athlete’s well being a serious matter and want you parents to be at ease.

 I’m thrilled to see that all athletes have great running shoes, because that makes a huge difference, not only in performance but also safety. As we determine the running events your athlete will be specializing in, they will need to purchase that particular track spike. These can be bought at any running store or sport store. 

Lastly, if you have not yet signed up to receive emails, texts and/or twitter alerts regarding track, please do immediately, as this will be our main means of communicating news, updates, change or plans/locations, rain out details etc.  go to www.steathletics.org. Go to right bottom of the page “Fan Account”, “Create an account”.

There you can choose the method of communications you desire. (I suggest both texts and emails since some messages will not fit in text format). As always, you can log onto site and click on the “Track &Field” link to check news, view pictures, schedules and much more. I do not have access to school emails; this is the only means of communication, so please take time to sign up as early as possible. 

Please plan to support and cheer on your athlete at track meets. It’s always fun to have a cheering squad of supporters.

Thank you for all your support. If you have any questions or concerns always be welcome to contact me.

Running God’s race,

Coach Fisher

Welcome Track athletes and families to what promises to be a productive, positive, fun track season. I am looking forward to getting to know and work with all the fine athletes at STE. 

Dear Parents, We are trying to secure bus arrangements for travels to track practice during the season. We need a head count of how many athletes will be utilizing bus transportation to practices held at Presbyterian School during the season, so we can reserve a bus to accommodate numbers. Would you do me a favor and  text me at 757.676.6872, at your earliest convenience,  with your student's name/s  and grade if they plan to travel on the bus.

Thank you,

Coach Fisher

Dear track parents & athletes:

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season full of blessings, cherished family time and rejuvenation! 

I wanted to touch base with you regarding the upcoming track & field season.

I have been diligently working on concerns which were expressed at the parent/athlete meeting in December. I am waiting word back this week on a possible earlier time for usage of the track, (5:00-6:30 rather than 5:30-7:00). Also we are securing a monitored study hall for T&F athletes to be held at STE, directly after school, until travel time to the field. I appreciate your understanding,cooperation and sweet, encouraging emails I have received. We will not be incorporating the track until the week of Feb 2.

Practice will begin Monday, January 19th at our STE practice field, (4113 Willowbend Drive). The 1st two weeks of practice will be solely at Willowbend field from 3:30-5:30. Bus will leave for field immediately following school and  parents will need to pick athletes up at 5:30.

The first two weeks of practice will be important, busy weeks of conditioning, instruction, analyzing and team building. Beginning February 2nd, we will be incorporating our Presbyterian School track usage. After securing times this week, I will pass on concrete details. 

By now, athletes should have gotten fitted for running shoes. If not, please do so at your earliest convenience. Also, we will be using stretching bands right from the start, so please include them in athlete’s bag the first day of practice. (I’ve attached information and supply list again for reference.)

Hopefully your athlete has already been working on his/her pre-workouts, but if not, please encourage them to do so to prevent injuries during season. If you need another copy just let me know so I can email you asap. 

we coaches are super excited about working with your children and helping them achieve their athletic potential and grow in their relationship with team mates and God. We plan a fun, rewarding season. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to call, text or email me anytime.

Thank you for your support, I look forward to partnering with you…

We will meet in back of school, by playground & weight room. Bring water & wear comfortable clothes to try workouts. We realize this is finals week, so this is totally optional.
