Pasta Feeds

The Track team hold several Pasta Feeds during the season before key events. The Feeds help build team spirit, and helps the athletes to carbo-load as well. Our team is typically HUGE and they consume a lot of food. As the season gets underway, we will be looking for a Pasta Feed Coordinator who will do just that - coordinate the Pasta Feeds. But feeding this team is not a one-person job, so if you're a parent, please consider helping out and supplying some goodies for at least one of the feeds.
 
Here's what we typically need delivered to the cafeteria at 5:00pm (pasta can arrive at 5:15) on Pasta Feed Days. Please remember that we have no means of cooking or warming anything, so whatever you bring has to be ready-to-serve:

PASTA - 10-12 servings (cooked, heated and ready to serve)(need 8 meat, 8 veg friendly)
SALAD (Fruit or Green)--10-12 servings (ready to serve)
BREAD--2 loaves French or garlic bread (heated, cut, and ready to serve)
DESSERT-- 24 servings (cut into servings, but not individually wrapped
ICE-- 4 bags (bring these between 4:45 and 5:00 to cool down the water)
 Water - a bunch
  
Thanks, Cheers, and Go Eagles!

Practice Schedule

We practice every day at 4PM, rain or shine! Tuesdays start at 3:45 with a short team meeting followed by practice. Please come prepared with water, proper shoes and proper clothing.

School Policy on Driving to Events

  • A student cannot drive him/herself to the event. Students doing this will not be allowed to compete
  • A student cannot drive other students at anytime during school functions or practices.
  • If you leave early (ie, get a ride home from your parents), be sure to check out with the coach before you leave. The coach will also want to see you leave with your parent, so parents, please park the car and meet your athlete on the field when they check out. Thanks in advance.
  • Parents: If you plan on giving a ride to other students, you need to first fill out paperwork with the school office. This takes some time, so please plan ahead. Your cooperation is appreciated. The Volunteer Driver Application form can be found here.

(The above has been district policy since 2001)

Coach's Corner

Hello track and field team!

Great first week!!!  Keep pushing yourself, it will pay off come competition time!

IMPORTANT INFO:
Wednesday evening at 6pm in the LAHS library will we have our parent meeting!  
This will be a great chance for the parents to meet the coaches, ask questions, learn a bit about track and field,  hear about our expectations for the season, and get involved in the Los Altos T&F community!  We will make the meeting as short!  We appreciate your support!!!
This week there is a chance of rain!!!! YES...rain!  
member of t&f team:  What does this mean?
member 2 of t&f team:  Do we get to go home and sit on Facebook chat instead of training?

YOU WILL BE MARKED ABSENT IF YOU DO NOT SHOW UP FOR PRACTICE EVEN IF IT IS RAINING.  Just a reminder 3 unexcused absences and your grades will drop.  

The best way to handle the rain is to wear waterproof sweatpants and layers (i.e shirt, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, light rain jacket)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!! Enjoy the Super Bowl (even though the 49ers are not playing so there is really no point in watching). We looking forward to seeing you at 3:45 tomorrow.

Hey Track Stars!

Just a reminder our track season starts on Monday at 3:45 sharp!

The following items must be completed before you can start practice:
Blue Card and Physical
AB25 form (concussion form)
Please make sure these are completed and turned into Mrs. Cave prior to the start of practice.

I'm sure we missed many of you at our sign up meeting, so if you are currently in a winter sport please stop by to make sure we have you on the roster, and we will save a place for you, since you can not start track until your season is officially over.

Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather, bring water, sweats, and training shoes.

We have a full coaching staff that is looking forward to a memorable season. We have new meets on the schedule that will give everyone a chance to compete against some different schools and at some fun locations!

Parents we will need a lot of volunteers for the season it takes a small army to ensure our season and meets go smoothly.

So please pass this information on to your kids and parents :)

Thank you,

Jan. 4, 2012

Hello everyone,

One last reminder that we will begin our optional winter conditioning runs tomorrow at 4:00, and we will meet at the Los Altos track. These runs are open to anyone and everyone. We will be meeting every Monday - Friday at 4:00 until the first official practice for Spring track starts which is at the end of January. This is a great way to keep in shape for the track season, or for another sport if you are participating in a different spring sport. I encourage everyone to come as often as possible, but if you don't want to or are not able to meet every day, that is certainly okay as well.

Every day we will just be doing easy distance runs - no hard workouts. In addition, it is a CCS rule that we do not do drills as part of our winter conditioning, so if you would like to do drills to warm yourself up, you should do them on your own before 4:00.

I hope every one had a nice break. Hope to see everyone tomorrow at 4:00.
