At any track meet, everyone is requested to observe certain rules of etiquette.
– When the field is not open to the public, do not enter unless requested to be there.
– When crossing the track, be aware of races in progress. Treat the track as if it were a busy roadway.
– NEVER cross over the approach area or runway of any field events.
– NEVER EVER cross through the shot put area.
– NEVER “poor mouth” other competitors. Taunting and baiting is not allowed (including overt acts of celebration during competition or throwing a baton).
– DO NOT pace (run along-side) any runner during a race. This may result in the disqualification of that runner.
– Keep all non-club members (brothers, sisters, friends, relatives) under supervision.
We expect our athletes (and parents) to behave in a sportsmanlike manner. You are a reflection of our club, so please act accordingly. You belong to a club that is well respected in the Valley Youth Conference.
