🚨 ATTENTION VHS Student Athletes and Parents of SA’s Grade 7-12!🚨

Hello!
There’s been some miscommunication in information sent out about Sports Physicals for Velva High School with Dr. Mattern. The following information is CORRECT. Please share!

Where: Maysa Arena (side in front of the West rink)

When: Friday June 16th 8am-12pm
Or

If you have a Student Athlete in FASTER, I will start handing out discounted coupons for 1/2 off physicals THIS Wednesday (June 14th).

*** Athletes may come to physicals without a parent; however ALL paperwork must be filled out and signed prior to the physical. Must have parent signature to perform physical.

Physical paperwork can be found on the NDHSAA website. I will also be handing them out at FASTER 🙂

Good Morning All!

I wanted to apologize for the lack of sharing information regarding FASTER Sessions for this Summer. A lot of moving parts to keep up with in the world of athletics with the new hospital move and a very cold/wet Spring. I'd like to address some questions I have been receiving the last week.

Question 1: Is Velva still having FASTER Programming this Summer?

Answer: YES! 3 sessions to be exact! (And for those who have asked, YES I will be there :) )

Question 2: My Athlete forgot to bring a form home from school. Can I still get a form/still sign my athlete(s) up.

Answer: YES! Please email me at [email protected] and I can forward you this years FASTER Form!
If you have found our form from last year on the Trinity Website, we will accept those as well, as the registration information page, the medical history page, and participation waiver are the same; HOWEVER, note the program dates are slightly different this year.

Question 3: When is the FASTER Program running this Summer?

Answer: Start Date- June 5th
End Date- July 24th
There will be NO FASTER sessions the week of the 4th of July! We are changing things up this year so that our athletes, their families, and the families of our sport medicine staff can enjoy the holiday :)

Question 4: Is there a deadline for me to sign my athlete up for FASTER?

Answer: YES, BUT...
Our deadline for registration has been set for May 22. I am writing to you today, the 20th. We set a deadline in order to make a decision on whether we are able to provide a program based on the number of student athletes interested. With that being said, the Velva community supports the growth of their student athletes' skill sets without question. There is not only a program, but it has grown into needing 3 sessions to accommodate the number of student athlete's we train during the summer. Velva holds the record for student athlete attendance for FASTER Programming to date! (Ya'll are Rockstars!) We will extend the deadline through Friday the 26th. Completed forms can either be sent to me via email, or be turned in the first day of FASTER. If your child is turning in their forms on the first day, please email me and let me know your child/children are attending and plan to turn their paperwork in at that time. This helps me plan accordingly for the amount of staff I will need and the amount of equipment we will need for planned activities.

If there are any other questions, please feel free to reach me either here on this page or by email ([email protected]) I will be looking for questions/responses daily.

Thank you all for continuing to put your trust in Trinity Sports Medicine with the athletic development of your student athletes!

Good morning All!

I first want to apologize again that it has been months that we all have been waiting for t-shirts. I didn’t want to give them out until I had all of them.

With that being said, I FINALLY have all FASTER t-shirts in hand! I will have them available at tomorrow nights Volleyball game. If your athlete is not attending the game, that is okay. They will be in a box in the main office with their name on it. Additionally all will get to pick up a treat with their t-shirts and testing results.

Thank you all again for your patience! And thank you for choosing FASTER as part of your child’s summer programming.

Hey All!

Just wanted to send a GIANT thank you out to all of our families/ student athletes that participated in the Trinity Sports Medicine FASTER program this Summer! I know we had a few hiccups with gym space; thank you so much for being flexible and understanding!

A couple announcements:

1) our T-shirts were not ready before our sessions ended. I will have them at the school for pick up with each athletes name on them when they are ready. I will announce when they are available for pick up. Thank you for you patience!

2) The athletes pre/post testing data will be given when t-shirts are handed out. I know not everyone was able to pre and/or post test, and that’s okay! If they did one or the other, the information is still good to look at 🙂

We can’t wait to see your athletes perform in the upcoming seasons!

Thanks!
Maci, Nicole, & Parker

Hi All!

It’s me again 😁

I wanted to clarify some of the mixed information between the FASTER poster and FASTER flyer.

The poster that was initially put out before the flyers (with registration forms), has June 6th as the first date for all FASTER sessions. The flyer with registration lists June 1st as the first date for all FASTER sessions.

The first “official” program start date for all sessions will be Monday June 6th.

We will be performing pre-testing on Wednesday June 1st for all sessions at their respective times.

We like to perform pre and post-testing with the student athletes to give them measurable data on the progress they have made over the Summer. We encourage all enrolled FASTER student athletes to attend the pre-testing on June 1st, but understand if they are unable to make it.

Please let me know if there are any questions 😊

We apologize for the confusion!

Thanks!!
Maci

Hey All!

Our apologies on this flyer that went out. I have had a lot of inquiries on the deadline. Should say MAY 25th instead of May 13th.

I would like registration forms turned in sooner than later but MAY 25th is the correct deadline.

This just helps me get organized and plan for the number of students that will be in each session.

Last year we had a RECORD number of 63 total student athletes enrolled within the Velva FASTER programs. The largest number throughout all of our FASTER programs! I hope to continue to grow this number!

Help us, help keep your favorite Aggie in the Game!
