Locker Rooms will not be available unless a coach asks to use them before the meet. We ask that each coach be responsible for their athletes conduct and team camp. We especially would like each coach to be aware of the following policies:

• · No jewelry allowed while competing.
• · No IPODS or MP3 players allowed during competition. They can be on the infield but when it is time to compete they need them off in order to here the official.
• · No sunflower seeds, food or gum allowed on the football field.
• · 3/16 inch spikes or smaller on the track. We will check spikes and have them for sale at the concession stand for $3.
• · No athlete is allowed to jump the fence at any time.
