THINGS
TO DO AT A TRACK
MEET
The first thing
on arrival is to
have your child
find his or her
age group coach.
Check in with
them to get the
event tags they
will be doing at
that meet. Make
sure they have
their sweats on,
it will be cool
when they
arrive.
Your child will
need to be
aware, at all
times, of where
his or her
coaches are.
Keep track of
what event is
being called
("First call,
all Gremlin
Girls 200
meters, Last
call, all Midget
Boys 1500
meters", etc).
It is impossible
for the coaches
to know where
thirty or forty
athletes are.
Athletes must
warm up before
each event. Have
them check with
their coach on
when they should
report in for
warm ups with
their group.
As the day warms
up, keep your
athlete OUT OF
THE SUN. Use
lots of
sunscreen, and
have them drink
plenty of water
and drinks like
Gatorade/Powerade.
NO SODA!!. Soda
depletes the
body of fluids.
Keep them
relaxed and from
running around.
This is a good
time to have
them play cards
or board games
with a friend.
