There will be no one available to hold any personal items during practice. Thanks.
Many athletes have covered hundreds of miles this winter, and spent hours in the weight room preparing to capture the Sectional and State Titles. We certainly hope that you too have been conscientious about your winter training. Remember that in less than two weeks you must be in top condition for our first team practice. We want you to report to the first practice READY TO TRAIN.
No one will be cut from the Team until May 2012 (IHSA Sectional Roster) provided they work hard, and miss no more than 3 unexcused practices from January 17, 2012 through May 2012.
Athletes in basketball, wrestling, and swimming may join the Team when their respective season reaches a conclusion. Students in the musical, girls soccer, girls softball, boys volleyball, and boys and girls lacrosse will not be permitted to join the TEAM. Students who have Team manager obligations to another sport will not be permitted to join the Track TEAM. Athletes in baseball, tennis, and water polo will be allowed to join the TEAM for the Indoor season, and will be required to return to the Track Team when their respective season reaches a conclusion. Any other special circumstances need to be approved by the coaching staff in advance. Thanks.
Northside Track & Field is fun, and the experience is priceless. The most frequent question we have received from Freshman and New members of the Team is what if they don’t have any Track & Field experience? Start now. You are going to be a part of a team where your teammates care about you and depend on you. We will make you great!
