Parent Meeting

There will be a spring sports parent meeting Thursday, March 4th at 6:00pm in room 200.  Please plan on having your parents attend this meeting.

 

Parent volunteers are needed for our home meets.  Please have your parents contact me if they do not attend this meeting and are interested in helping.

 

Sportsmanship/Conduct

All athletes are expected to hold the highest sportsmanship and conduct at practice/meets.  Unsportsmanlike conduct or negative conduct of any sort will not be tolerated in any form.  Disciplinary action will be taken according to the infraction, at the discretion of the coach.

 

Alcohol/Drug Use

The track team will follow the plan laid out by CCSD for drug or alcohol abuse.  All athletes will be eligible for random drug testing.  If an athlete fails a random test at any point during the season, they will be removed from the team.

 

Practices

They are mandatory starting Monday, March 2nd and start promptly at 1:45pm out on the track field.  Each athlete will be required to have 10 official practices before they can compete.  The expectations sheet must be signed and returned before an athlete can compete. 

 

Fundraising

All athletes will participate in fundraising in order to benefit the team.  Each team member is expected to raise $50 worth of pledges or donations thru the Coronado Track-A-Thon.  These monies are used for new equipment, uniforms, sweats, invitationals, out-of-state meets, the banquet, awards, and other team focused events.  All members of the team are expected to raise money to help pay team expenses. Any athlete not raising $50 will not be eligible for invitational competition, a JV certificate, or a varsity letter.

 

Zone Variance

Anyone on a zone variance and/or guardianship issues will need to see me ASAP.  You may still participate, but only at the JV level.  If I am not notified, it could result in a disqualification for the team.

 

Pictures

Team pictures will be within the first 2 weeks of practice.  At that time, uniforms will be issued.

 

Dress Code for Day of Meets

The following has been imposed for all athletic programs.  All athletes are expected to dress up at school the day of an away meet.  For male athletes, dress slacks and a nice shirt, and for female athletes, dress slacks/dress/skirt and blouse.  For home meets, all athletes should wear their Coronado Track & Field t-shirt.

 

 

 Dress Code for Practice and Meets

All athletes will have proper attire for practice.  This will include proper running shoes and proper clothing.  Clothing must be warm enough.  You may be excused from practicing that day for violating this.  It will count against you as an unexcused practice.

 

All athletes will wear Coronado sweats and uniforms at the meet.  If you are there as an athlete and not participating, you will be expected to wear a school team shirt/sweat shirt. 

 

All spandex worn under uniforms must be one color.  Acceptable colors:  navy or dark blue, red, white, black, gray.  Any other color must be cleared by the head coach.

 

Competing athletes cannot wear any type of jewelry (i.e. earrings, necklaces, rings, etc.).  Wearing jewelry will result in being disqualified from the event.

 

Sexual Harassment/Language

Any sexual harassment or use of foul language will result in immediate disciplinary action and may result in dismissal from the team. DO NOT TOUCH teammates in any way that could be viewed as inappropriate and use APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE at all practices and meets.

 

Ordering

Personalized Sweats may be purchased with your name printed on them.  See Track Clothing Order Form.  They must be prepaid before you can order them.  The money is due back to Coach Bolken or Coach Reed by _______________. 

 

Team T-Shirts

All team members are expected to have a team t-shirt.  A t-shirt will be earned by meeting our fundraising goal.  Additional t-shirts may be purchased for $15.

 

 Release from Meets

Generally, this is discouraged. Leaving meets takes away from the team aspect of track and field.  If you need to be released, only your parent/guardian may sign a waiver the day of the meet in order for you to be released.  No other friend or family member may sign the release and you may not travel with anyone but your parent/guardian.  You are expected to stay the entire meet and go home on the bus or in the case of home meets, stay the entire time.

At a home meet ALL athletes are expected to stay until the completion of the meet and help make sure our stadium is clean and our equipment is taken care of.

 

Pole Vault Waiver

It is now a requirement by the district that all pole vaulters and parent/guardians sign a waiver.  Please see Coach Kashka or Coach Bolken for the form.

 

Delinquent Fees and Grades

- If you have an outstanding fee with the school, you will not be able to participate in track.  This is a case by case issue and the coaches will address this with athletes individually. 

- Grades will need to be satisfactory in order to participate.  Your grade will determine if you are able to practice.
