Coaching Staff - 2026 Season
The coaches' job is to prepare your sons and daughters for the track & field discipline(s) they have chosen to try out for & compete in. Coaches program training for practice and determine which athletes will compete in meets. It is important to schedule appointments and other extracurricular activities/sports during times that do not conflict with practices to avoid disrupting the training program.
​
Contact your athlete's discipline coach regarding practices, meets, transportation, injuries, and attendance.

Booster Club
NPHS Track & Field is a vital part of the high school experience and every student should have the opportunity and be encouraged to become involved in school activities beyond the academic program. Because of the high cost of the activity, NPHS Track and Field Booster Club was formed by the parents and supporters of the program to provide the financial and personal support needed for a quality program.
​
There are currently several open positions on the Boosters Board that need to be filled to ensure a successful season for the student athletes (see below). Please help support the team by volunteering to fill one of these positions. No experience necessary! Reach out to Nikki Mitchell (nphstf@gmail.com) if you have any questions or would like to volunteer.
​
Contact Boosters regarding uniforms, volunteering, fundraising, donations, and registration.
​
Booster Meetings are the 1st Tuesday of every month at 6pm in the College and Career Center (subject to change). Parents are encouraged to attend.
