Eureka Boys Track and Field 2017
Attendance Expectations
These requirements are being put in place to help develop dedication to the Eureka Track and Field team.
In order for our team to work efficiently we must practice and compete together as a team.
Practice
1. Be at practice every day. If you are injured, you are still required to be at practice.
a. One unexcused absence results in a conference with a coach and consequence relating to
your event.
b. Two unexcused absences result in a 1 meet suspension.
i. If you are going to miss a practice you should let a member of the coaching staff
know as soon as possible. (1 week notice if possible)
c. Three unexcused absences result in removal from the team.
i. Examples of unexcused absences
1. Missing practice without prior approval from a coach. Telling us after the
fact does not mean you had prior approval.
2. Academic Detentions
3. Too much homework
4. A+ hours
5. Athletic/Activity requirements outside of Eureka Track and Field
2. Tardiness to practice is not tolerated. We begin at 3:20 Sharp! Your teammates are depending on
you and you must be on time.
a. 2 Tardies = 1 unexcused absence.
b. You will be assigned 20 lunges for each minute you are tardy.
* Further penalty for violation will be at the coach’s discretion.
3. Any form of suspension from school (ISS, OSS, etc.) may result in removal from the team.
4. Complete all parts of the workout (warm up, main workout, and cool down)
a. First offense for skipping a section of the workout will result in a 1 meet suspension.
* Further penalty for violation will be at the coach’s discretion.
5. Bring everything you need for practice each day.
a. This includes shorts, shoes, water bottles and warm-ups (for cool weather).
b. Watches are recommended, but not mandatory.
6. Lack of respect for fellow teammates, coaches, officials and opponents will not be tolerated.
Unsportsmanlike conduct, deliberate profanity and “loafing” or failing to give 100% effort will
not be tolerated.
a. Violation of any of the above mentioned = removal from practice / meet.
This will result in an unexcused absence.
* Further penalty for violation will be at the coach’s discretion.
7. Finish what you start! Quitting on yourself, teammates and coaches is not allowed.
Meets
1. Be at every meet. This is the reason why you train so hard. Your absence from a meet also hurts
your teammates.
a. Excused Absences
i. If you miss a meet due to an excused absence you will have to miss the following
meet as well.
ii. If you are going to miss a meet you should let the coaches know a week in
advance.
b. Unexcused Absences
i. Missing a meet due to an unexcused absence may result in removal from the
team.
c. Riding the bus to and from meets with your team is expected and all athletes will stay
until the conclusion of the meet to support our team. (Please see a coach should there be
extenuating circumstances)
i. In the event of you needing to ride home with your parents, you and your parent
will need to sign out with the designated coach after the conclusion of the meet.
ii. Sign out will be at the team camp once we have torn down, cleaned up and met
with the team.
Communication is very important. If you have an issue with missing a practice or a meet, you must
discuss it ahead of time with a member of the coaching staff.
