Below are the Pinellas County Guidelines for Cross Country Meets-
we will be following these guidelines, be sure your parents and athletes are
aware. I have added to them in italicized to further elaborate how we are
meeting this requirement.
Meets/Competitions:
Athletes should always wear masks
unless they are actively participating in pre-warm up, race, and post cool down
activities. The goal is to get the athletes through the finish line and to a
team cool down area quickly as possible.
We are asking the
athletes wear a disposable mask to the start line until just before the start,
and then throw it in a garbage can, or it is collected by coaches in a waste
bag (we would prefer they are not thrown all over the ground)
There should be an emphasis in
pre-meet coaches' meetings that teams remain in individualized pods when
possible.
We will not be having a coaches meeting as
everything is in this email. Please be sure to read through carefully
Limit the number of teams in each
meet. Large meets will use chip timing.
We are using elite
timing!
The coaches were against the
requirement of staggered start times. They felt very strongly that it turns the
race into a time trial.
There will not be a staggered start, however
we ask teams allow space between them and the other teams on the start line,
and please do not line up until 5 minutes before your race.
Each athlete is responsible for
their own equipment/water bottle.
There will not be water at the finish line
as each athlete is responsible for their own water. Please make sure your team
has plenty of water. Please make sure you have a coach or level 2 volunteer at
the finish line with gloves on that can assist any of your athletes that need
it, or provide them with water. The team tent area is only about 150 meters
from the finish.
No sharing of equipment, water
bottles or food items.
Course width recommendation no
less than 6 feet.
For the most part the athletes follow a
sidewalk, however, they can also run on either side of the sidewalk to allow
for plenty of room. Athletes should avoid running in the street due to traffic.
Course officials and Coaches must
always wear masks.
Designate a player only area with
the goal to keep spectators sperate from athletes.
The team tent area
is along 5th st N, near 22nd ave. We ask that all team
tents are set up away from each other, and that parents are not permitted in
this area.
No Loitering by athletes or
spectators after the race is completed.
Please help your athletes move directly back
to their team area after finishing the race. We encourage athletes and
spectators to leave the park once the race is finished. Ribbons will be given
out as they finish, and trophies can be collected by coaches. There will not be
an Award Ceremony at the end.
** Please be sure to encourage your athletes/Spectators to
always maintain 6 ft of distance, to stay back from the course, and to always
wear a mask, please be sure that you are encouraging that they sanitize and
that you have provided hand sanitizer for your team**
Coaches are responsible for making sure there is adequate water at
the finish line for their athletes. There will NOT be water provided at the finish line by the host
school.
It is the responsibility of the coach to make sure that the
athletes wear the correct bib on the front of their jersey with four (4) safety
pins. Likewise, each athlete will receive a shoe tag (or chip) that matches the
bib number. It does not matter which shoe the tag goes on.
CoachesMUST RETURNall
shoe tags
and unused bibs/pins back to the packet pick up area. Shoe tags must be
returned in numerical order in the bag supplied.*IMPORTANT*There
will be a $20.00 fee assessed for each shoe tag that is not returned. By
entering
the meet and picking up your packet, you agree to these terms and agree to pay
the timer for each missing OR broken shoe tag.
