Athletes must abide by and sign the district Athletic Code that includes regulations concerning drugs, alcohol, tobacco, conduct, grade eligibility, class attendance, and others.
Practice, Attendance and Participation
1. We normally practice Monday through Friday, 3:00 - 5:00.Saturday practice is 9:00 - 11:00.
2. Athletes must have 10 practices completed to compete in their first meet. After that, an unexcused absence will result in the athlete sitting out the next meet.
3. Absences will be excused for illness, injury, family emergency, or school related priority if the athlete notifies the coaches in person ahead of time. Communication is key. Please call or email the coaches.
4. At the end of practice, every athlete MUST check out with the coaches. This means the athlete must talk to the coaches before leaving.
Proper Attire
1. For our daily runs and workouts, it is necessary to have running shoes. Cross-trainers or basketball shoes can result in injuries.
2. Girls will need to wear sport bras at all times while running at practice; running only in a sport bra is against school policy and will result in discipline.
3. Boys must wear a shirt at all times during practice.
4. Spikes or flats will enhance performance. At times, athletes will need to train in their racing shoes.
5. The athlete must be prepared for extremes in weather during the season. Proper clothing is needed to stay dry and warm at meets and during practice. The athlete needs to have: a sweatshirt, sweatpants, warm stocking hat, gloves,plastic bag for wet clothes, a small personal first aid kit, and a large carry-all sports bag for books and gear during the season.
Lockers and Gear
Athletes who would like to have a locker should check in with the PE department. Do not leave valuables unlocked in the lockerroom. Security can be a problem.
