Good Evening Reservoir Track & Field Families.
I am very sorry about my technical difficulties this evening. I hope I did not inconvenience anyone. The purpose of this evening’s meeting was to go over the up coming meet schedule and make sure everyone is aware of the meet selection process, not attending a meet, transportation options, team rules, etc.
I am going to do my best to thoroughly outline all of the above. At the end of this message, please electronically sign the google doc. This documentation will be required for all athletes in order to be allowed to compete in the meets.
- You must have completed the online google doc with your contact information and have read the team rules. The contact information is kept on the coaching staff so that we can contact families in the case of an emergency. You can do this on the team website: CLICK HERE
- Team Rules Review:
- Rule #4: If you are going to miss a meet, you must notify a coach at least 72 hours prior to the meet. The reason being is that most meet deadlines are 48 – 72 hours prior to the meet date. By letting us know 72 hours ahead of time, we can make changes that will not affect the team. In many cases, we have to pay for an athletes entry into a meet and once that deadline passes we can not change it. Failure to do this will result in you missing your next scheduled meet. IF an emergency comes up, a Parent must contact a coach.
- Rule #5: You must ride the team bus to and from the meet. This is a county policy. We are allowing you a lot of flexibility pending you communicate with us. Each week, we will provide a google link for you to simply fill out to say you will self transport. You can ride the bus to the meet and go home early, you can self transport both ways, etc.
- Rule #4 and Rule #5 can be take care of each meet by simply filling out this GOOGLE DOC. This will be posted on the meet page for each meet. Meet Transportation and Notification Link. Yes you will need to fill one out for each meet and for each child.
- We will set meet lines up for each meet. We will post all meet information on our Meet Information Page. We as coaches have a plan for each meet and have thought through everyone’s plan. If an athlete can not run a race, the athlete must get approval from a COACH. Not a team captain, not a friend, not a parent. Direct permission to miss an event must come from a Coach. If an athlete wishes to try an event, they simply need to ask before the 72 hour deadline or talk with a coach prior to a meet.
- In order to compete on meet day, all athletes must:
- Arrive to school on time and NOT have any form of unexcused lateness or absence.
- May not skip classes or have any form of unlawful absence or tardiness to class.
- Must not have any behavioral issues
- Must represent themselves and the team with integrity, maturity and responsibility.
- Meet Schedule (Click Here for Printable Meet Schedule):
- You will see that most meets have designations next to them as to who will be attending the meet. However, you ALWAYS need to assume you are going to the meet. If you can not attend the meet, regardless of the designation (JV, Varsity, etc), you still must notify us if you are going to miss a meet. You never know when you might be called up to run in a meet.
- We will try to post the meet lines up 48 hours prior to the meet. The meet line up will have the exact order of events and a time schedule that will allow you to plan.
- If you can attend a meet, but only in the morning, or afternoon or for part of the meet, let us know. We can make accommodations so that you can run your event and then head out.
- All Meet information will be posted on the Meet Information Page.
Now that you have read through all of this information.
