Hello WDV Community and Families:

We will soon be launching an Athletics blog to communicate directly with students and families who are interested in receiving athletics updates. In the meantime, please continue to look for updates on our Athletics webpage. Thank you again for all of your patience. I know there are many questions swirling around the WDV Athletics program, so here it goes…

A few weeks ago, I was brought on to help the Athletics program get organized and create runways for our different sports teams, so they are ready to fly when we get the green light. This has been a lot more challenging than expected with different managing partners for all the facilities we use and different COVID protocols. Despite this, we have been hard at work. Here is a sport-by-sport update:

**Click on the name of the sport to get a direct link to coach’s email**

Swimming: Tryouts Thursday 3/25 4-6 at the Aquatics Center, 201 N. Douglas St.

Softball: Tryouts Monday 3/29 4-6 in field behind DV Connect, 12501 Isis Ave.

Boys Soccer: Conditioning starting 3/29-3/31 and Tryouts 4/1-4/2, locations vary so please touch base with Coach Kevin or Michael. We are currently fielding applications to hire a Program Head Coach.

Baseball: There is currently a fence in the middle of the outfield of our practice facility that was placed there by LA County. Coach Noya has had multiple meetings to get this taken off and we are hoping for good news soon.

Girls Soccer: Is off to a great start with their first game this week! They have been hard at work conditioning at the beach and prepping for the season.

Track: We have hit many speed bumps here but with Coach Jackson supporting this program we will find a way! The practice facility at Lennox is still shut down with a board meeting not happening until April 20 to discuss reopening of their facilities. In the meantime, we are working on some creative local partnerships to allow the teams to start working out together.

B Basketball, G Basketball and Volleyball: These sports have been under the toughest restrictions as they are played indoors. Currently, the guidelines that have been placed require periodic testing and we are working with different companies to get that set up for our athletes. When the testing is in place, we will submit a COVID protocol to the county. We will be ready to go once the County approves us.

Thanks again, and please reach out with any questions, comments or concerns.

Go Wolves!

Tori
