2024 TRACK & FIELD SEASON INFORMATIONI am excited for our 17th year as a coach for the dominant and successful Cupertino Middle School Track & Field Team. This year's season runs from 4/8 to 5/22. Mr. Sickler will be co-head coaching the Track and Field Team. We are expecting a huge team this year like we have every year. This a NO CUT sport meaning that you will not be cut from the team. The only events that you have to try out for is the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relay races.

First Day Practice HandoutIf you missed the first day of practice and want to download or look at the handouts that were given, click the links below:
Handout #1- General Information Handout #2- Rules and Expectations How To RegisterAll the information you will need in order to register for Cross Country is found on this Valley Athletic League link. Scroll to the bottom where it says "Please click the enroll button to sign your child up for the Cross Country team." Please make any type of donation you can to the program because it helps to fund it moving forward and it is a really integral part of the After School Sports Program. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.
Parent FormSince the team is typically so large, the most effective way to communicate with the team is via a group email. It is mandatory for parents/guardians to fill out this FORM for their athlete(s). Please take a couple minutes to do so.
Volunteering at Home MeetsWe can always use parent help at the home meets to help time and measure the various events. The parent volunteers really help us run a smooth and quick meet. If you are interested in volunteering at the one home meet on 4/30, please make sure that you go through the volunteer process first by clicking this link. Click this LINK to go directly to the form for Cupertino Middle School.
Direction/Maps to MeetsClick HERE for maps and directions to all of the away meet schools.
Team Shirts-A couple years ago, I designed a shirt with "Bears Nation" on the font and it took off and because viral around the school. The team loved it. To keep the theme, we will have Bears Nations shirts again. Click HERE to see what they look like. Each athlete will be responsible for ordering their own. We use a vendor called prepsportswear.com to order shirts. Please watch this short video on how to order the team shirt.

Google ClassroomMy primary source of communication with the Athletes is going to be through Google Classroom. I will be giving the athletes the code the first week of practice. I will also send you the code via email once I collect your email addresses in the parent form.
