Practice Rules I. Consistency 1 We practice Monday - Friday (2:45-4:45) and some Saturdays (8-10).

You won't be your best without consistent training! 2. We practice outside in all weather conditions. Dress accordingly - Real spring doesn't arrive until May 15. 2 Practice is rarely cancelled. If I am not available, then the other coaches are. If in doubt check with Mr. Branley at the end of school. 4 Excusable absences - absence from school/family emergency/medical appointments/academic conflict/religious conflict. I will check the absentee list; otherwise I need a note from the person in charge. If you are absent for other reasons you are on thin ice. You need to make track a priority commitment. If you are over committed in your activities, we will ask you to make a decision to give up an activity that is preventing you from committing to track. 5. Injuries do not mean days off from practice - you are expected to be here everyday. See Ms. Guildersleeve at 2:30 for treatment, then report to me ASAP for attendance. You may be able to do reduced or alternative training, or to help the coaches and support your teammates. II. Enthusiasm "Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm" - Ralph Waldo Emerson 1. Your most important responsibility - to follow the coaches instructions, do your best, and if you think you can do a little more than is being asked of you, do it! III. Teamwork 1. You are responsible for equipment that you use - bring it out/ put it away. You are responsible for helping others with heavy equipment whenever necessary. You are responsible to be aware of surroundings, especially to be behind all throwers. You are responsible for supporting your teammates 100%.. You are responsible for all trash. IV. Practice information 1. Practice lasts from 2:45 - 4:45. Be prompt or bring a written excuse. 2. Schedule - team meeting 2:45 - 3:00 approximate times team stretch/jog/drills 3:00 - 3:30 workout/put away equipment 3:30 - 4:45 3. Structure - certain days will emphasize running - all athletes will do a running workout before anything else. - other days will emphasize skills (hurdles/jumps/throws/relays) - all involved athletes will work on these before running. - weight room will be open daily - check w/events coach for your particular schedule. 4. Event coaches: Mr. Kline, Mr. Cacciapuoti, Mr. Caito and I will be responsible for certain events. We will be overlapping to some extent so be ready to work with any of us at certain times.
