Males and female athletes are also required to wear proper fitting, supportive undergarments.

If other people’s personal property has been left out, you are expected to secure it safely in the absence of authorized school personnel (staff and/or faculty). If school personnel are available, turn the personal property in for safeguarding it. In either case, inform one off your coaches of the item discovered so it can be announced and properly recovered.

We don’t steal. We don’t compromise our integrity. Integrity is a team standard.

You cannot practice with another sport during track season.

You cannot participate in a non Del Sol track meet or road race during the season.

We expect our players to fully participate in our track program’s fundraising efforts. We encourage our players to pay for their Spirit Packs through diligent efforts rather than having parents simply cut a check. In addition to paying for the Spirit Pack, it teaches our athletes how to communicate with people, represent our track team, and to learn composure.

Our track program is extremely dependant upon fundraising efforts in order to provide the best possible equipment and to help enhance our program.

It is very important for the success of our track and field program that we have a strong parent involvement. Parents can help in many ways. Here is a list of parent support positions:

Home meet worker….Field event judge (measuring, marking, raking). Experience is not needed. We will teach you.

Helping with the computer operation in the press box. We run a fully automatic timing system for all of our home meets. If you would like to learn how this is done, let us know. We’d love to teach you.

Photographer/Video Camera Person – If you have a knack for action photography (digital camera), shoot photos at our meets and save them to a disc. We will use those photos at our year end Awards Dinner. Shooting digital videos at our meets is a great way to help the coaches analyze our athletes’ techniques and help them become better.

Concession Stand Workers – We have a person on campus that will be in charge of our concession stand. We do need moms and dads to work in the concession stand and grill burgers and hot dogs for all of our home meets.

We will travel to away meets on school busses. You may not drive yourself to a meet. If provided with 2 busses, boys will ride one bus and girls will ride the other.

Athletes will wear their uniform, t-shirt and sweats on the bus. You will not board the bus without being in proper attire. Bring plenty of water and a healthy snack to meets as well.

Keep noise on the bus to a minimum, conversational tone.

When you leave the bus, make sure you have all of your belongings.

You will ride the bus with the team back to school after the meet. You will not leave the meet early. Do you leave your football or basketball game early? If an emergency arises and you need to ride home with a parent, you must have a note signed by your parent. Give that note to Coach Dixon at the meet. You cannot ride home with anyone except your parents.

Do Not Leave garbage on the bus.

Your ride must be at school to take you home immediately upon arrival. Call them on your cell phone on the bus ride home.
