Track season will be starting up soon, and we would like to make you aware of some information that may help you along the way. 

Physicals must have been done after July 1, and must be on the school physical form, available from Mrs. Insolera in the Nurse’s Office.

Practices will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  Athletes should dress appropriately and be prepared for outdoor practices—long sleeve sweatshirts and sweatpants are required.  Inhalers must be available for practices and meets.

We encourage track participants to bring water bottles to practice; however, athletes need to be responsible and discard bottles at the end of practice.

We are recommending that athletes begin running twenty minutes a day, three to four times per week.  This will go a long way towards preparing them for after-school workouts.

As part of our uniform, athletes will be required to purchase a track T-shirt. The athlete’s last name will be printed on the back of the T-shirt.  The cost will be $10.  “Please place your order with and give your $10 to Mrs. Belli as soon as possible.”

We are looking forward to working with your children.  If you have any questions, please email us:  kdavenport@vtsd.com or belli@vtsd.com.
