Hillcrest Track & Field Disclosure
Practice: Practices will be at the Hillcrest track stadium every
weekday starting at 2:45. We will meet in the bleachers above the start/finish
line each day for a short meeting and then will have practice in the
appropriate areas of the track stadium based on event groups. Although some
event groups will go later, most athletes will be done with practice before
5:00. We will move inside for practice for inclement weather. Practice
attendance is mandatory. We will work around, within reason, with other
extracurricular and athletic activities. Communication is key. If you are going
to miss practice, you must notify your event coach in advance. Meet
participation is determined by practice attendance.
Fees & Costs: The participation fee for Track & Field is
$60. The spirit pack will be $65 which
will consist of a team back pack, team shirt, and uniform shorts. The girls will be charged an additional $35
for the uniform singlet. If athletes
already have the uniform, the cost is lower.
We will also have team hoodies for $32.
Black jogger pants, running tights, and compression shorts may also be
ordered on demand.
Eligibility: 2.0
GPA for both 2nd and 3rd quarters as outlined in UHSAA
guidelines
Meet Participation:
All athletes will participate
at region meets, provided they meet attendance requirements. Coaches will determine who participates in
invitational meets. Coaches will inform
athletes who will be competing prior to each meet. Athletes will compete in multiple events per
meet as directed by their event coach.
Transportation:
Transportation will be
provided for the team by Canyons District bussing. Athletes are required to
ride the bus to and from track meets.
Shoes: In order to help prevent injuries during training,
athletes will need to obtain proper running shoes. Track spikes or other event shoes are also
encouraged for competition.
Clothing: The
weather during track can vary a great deal.
Athletes need to be prepared for all weather conditions. Athletes should be prepared with clothing
suitable for hot, cold and wet weather each day. A good supply of sunscreen is also
recommended.
Injuries: We
will have TOSH trainers available to treat injuries and
provide a rehab plan. All injured must
athletes must be cleared by our trainers before they can compete. More serious injuries may need additional
medical care.
Volunteers: Running
a track meet requires many people. Most of the schools in our region don’t have
enough coaches to run all the events. We
will need parents to help run all field events.
We will need help pulling tape and marking jumps/throws, and judging the
event. We will need help at the finish
line. We may also run a concession stand
if we have sufficient help.
Forms & Consent:
All sport registration is now
done online at registermyathlete.com. Up to date physicals are required each
calendar year. UHSAA physical forms are to be downloaded from the site and must
be submitted to the main office or AD before you are eligible to compete in

Lettering: Lettering
will be based on a point system from meets as well as coach’s discretion.
Fundraising: We need to raise funds to pay for things like
meet entrance fees, equipment, end of year awards and the end of season team
party. All athletes are required to
participate in the fundraising efforts. Donations will also be accepted.
