Necessities for practice: A physical, this contract signed and returned (filling out the Google interest form counts for your signatures), warm clothes (have more than enough clothes), good running shoes, & a water-bottle. If you have suffered from shin splints or are concerned about them, it is recommended that you invest in some kind of shin compression sleeves to prevent this. Runners and jumpers need running spikes

If you miss for something other than the top 3 priorities or do not provide documentation, then you will not compete in the next meet. After 3 misses you’ll be dismissed from the team. All athletes must be trained by our coaching staff. No outside training is needed as this can lead to possible injuries and breaks down the dynamics of the team. We must have trust and belief in our coaches and athletes. Spring Break: Practice over the break, 10AM-11:30. Workouts will be provided for vacationers.

​

Priorities set by Coaches & Captains for the team

1. Family/Faith

2. Health & Well-being

3. Academics

4. The Team

5. Everything else

​

Any athlete caught drinking alcohol, using tobacco, vaping, or involved in any misconduct will be dismissed from the team and turned over to administration. The student code of conduct will be followed. Uniforms must be returned from previous seasons.

​

Acceptable Reasons for missing practice/meets

Only reasons concerning priorities: 1,2,3 are acceptable as valid reasons for missing practices and meets. If you miss for any of these reasons, notify a coach and provide documentation (Doctors note, teachers note, etc.)

​

If you want to be the best you can be and if parents/guardians want their kids to be the best they can be, then athletes need to be at practice. This is a valuable life-lesson called accountability. Athletes, your job is to be the best teammate you can be. We have extremely qualified coaches, therefore our staff are in charge of training your child, not someone else. Parents/Guardians please do not dictate how to train the team or what events your child competes in. The staff will not respond to these kinds of demands/requests. We ask that you refrain from “rallying others” to cause conflict within the program. If your child is not an “all-star” then there are a lot of life lessons that can be learned from that experience. We ask that you support EVERYBODY involved. We understand that you want the best for your child. We want the best for EVERY child in the program. If you don’t think the coaches are invested in helping your child be the best they can be then consider this; if we teach and coach them during the day, then we are spending more time with your child then we are with our own families.

​

Ring policy: State champions who win the state will get a ring. If a relay team wins, the 4 competitors that ran on the relay at State get rings only. The only exception is if an alternate ran during the qualifying meets leading into state, (region, lower state) We will operate on a one ring per athlete per season policy.

Travel: Only those athletes who are competing should be riding the bus unless permission is otherwise granted by a coach.

Other need to know things:

We can only enter 4 per event at Region. The top 4 from region will qualify to Lower State. The top 6 from Lower and Upper State, plus the next best 4 marks from both meets, qualify to State. If you complete your event at State, you are not guaranteed a point for the team which could mean the difference between winning and losing the team title. We have a medical kit that also has batons, a tape measure, etc. in it. Please keep the kit clean and organized.

 

Things that can get you disqualified:

One False start, one and done.

Dropping or throwing the baton, even after you cross the finish line. If you drop it, immediately pick it up.

Any excessive celebration or poor sportsmanship.

Throwers should enter in and out of the back of the ring. Putting your hand on the hurdle while hurdling.

Not checking in for an event will scratch you from that event. Check in & warm up early for your event.

Scratch means removal from an event. Foul is when you step over the board or line in a field event.

Wearing different uniforms in a relay race. Switching or changing uniforms in plain sight.
