  4. Why??? Thank you very much for all you do, MY KID loves track and just between you and I, I'm so glad it took the place of another sport.  In my opinion, your program is not only skill building but character and confidence building, which is more important to life in the long run.  You've given my kid the greatest gift possible  -  an opportunity! 

  5. We are very serious about our kids and their futures…… Many of our athletes are receiving college letters of interest and scholarships.

  22. Asthma Action Plan • Long Term control Medicines • Versus • Quick Relief: Albuterol, etc. • If you need to take quick-relief medicine more than twice a week on a regular basis, call your doctor to talk about adding or increasing your long-term control medicines.

  23. Shin Splints Versus Stress FracturesDefinition • Shin splints are injuries to the front of the outer leg. While the exact injury is not known, shin splints seem to result from inflammation from injury to the tendon (posterior peroneal tendon) and adjacent tissues in the front of the outer leg.

  24. Symptoms • Shin splints cause pain in the front of the outer leg below the knee. The pain of shin splints is characteristically located on the outer edge of the mid region of the leg next to the shin bone (tibia). An area of discomfort measuring 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) in length is frequently present. Pain is often noted at the early portion of the workout, then lessens only to reappear near the end of the training session. Shin splint discomfort is often described as dull at first.

  25. Causes • A primary culprit causing shin splints is a sudden increase in distance or intensity of a workout schedule. This increase in muscle work can be associated with inflammation of the lower leg muscles, those muscles used in lifting the foot (the motion during which the foot pivots toward the tibia). Such a situation can be aggravated by a tendency to pronate the foot (roll it excessively inward onto the arch). • Similarly, a tight Achilles tendon or weak ankle muscles are also often implicated in the development of shin splints. • Poor quality or worn out shoes

  26. Old Way- Previously, two different treatment management strategies were used: total rest or a "run through it" approach. The total rest was often an unacceptable option to the athlete. The "run through it" approach was even worse. It often led to worsening of the injury and of the symptoms. New Way- alternative workouts: Pool or stationary bike Ice to reduce inflammation Stretching and strengthening Proper shoes ½ normal workout in volume and intensity. Usually better 2-3 weeks rest Treatment

  27. Attendance Policy • Tiered discipline • 1st offense- warning event coach • 2nd offense- warning and call home from event coach • 3rd offense- dismissal hearing with athletic director • Just asking the student-athletes to be responsible • Call or email if absence is unavoidable • Cooperate with school activities and conflicts] • Work is not an acceptable excuse

  28. Academic Eligibility: • Students will be notified if they are not eligible and copies of the lists shall be given to the coach. All students in grades 7 – 12 who participate in athletics must attain a 2.0 QPA during a weekly academic eligibility report. If a student is ruled ineligible, he/she will not be eligible to participate in games and must attend a mandatory study hall in the after-school detention room. The study hall will be held in the Senior High School three days per week and last one hour. (2:45 to 3:45). Once the hour-long study hall is finished, the student will be permitted to attend practice. They should report to their event coach at the track and field area. A student will be reinstated once he/she has achieved a 2.0 QPA or better. • Students declared ineligible will not be permitted to play from Monday through the end of Sunday following the week of their ineligibility.
