TRYING OUT FOR ANOTHER WOODSON SPORT: If you are trying out for another WTW sport and interested in track & field, you need to contact Coach Zuber before the tryout to let her know you're interested.
QUESTIONS: Contact Coach Zuber at KaZuber@fcps.edu or 661-857-6354
PRACTICE: Monday-Friday, 3:30pm till 6:00pm, practice might end earlier and some days later. Some groups have Saturday practice. All athletes are required to attend practice every day. We do have practice when it is cold, raining or maybe snowing. No practice if FCPS is canceled.
EXPECTATIONS: This is a VARSITY SPORT and attendance at practices and meets are MANDATORY. We understand you are busy with other activities and request that you carefully consider your time commitments before trying out for track and field. It’s the responsibility of the student-athlete to inform Coach Zuber of any conflicts. All conflicts need to be addressed at the beginning of the season. The official schedule will be posted on our team website www.wtwoodsonsports.com.
COSTS: New athletes must purchase a uniform if they have never participated in Woodson cross country, indoor, or outdoor track & field. We also encourage you to purchase spirit wear. Warm clothing is required. The spirit wear and uniforms are good for all three sports for as long as you are at Woodson. Make sure you have running specific shoes; lower body injuries are often caused by wearing the wrong type of shoes.
