TEAM SELECTION PROCESS
Track & Field is an inclusive program with all athletes welcome to participate. However, every athlete is expected to fully commit to attending all scheduled practices and competitions.
PRACTICES
High School and Middle School practices generally run from 2:30 – 4:00 PM on Monday through Friday. At the High School level there is occasionally a practice one day on the weekend.
Athletes are expected to be at all practices unless absent from school.
Before joining a team, each athlete should determine whether they can meet the time commitment that is necessary for the good of the program.
MEETS
Meets for both Middle School and High School start at 3:30 and end around 5:30. Boys and Girls teams travel to away meets on the same bus. Parents need to pick up their child at Tahanto when the bus arrives from the away site.
EQUIPMENT
Athletes should dress appropriately for their event and the weather (sneakers, t-shirt, shorts, sweats).
Athletes are responsible for their uniforms. Any athlete that loses his/her uniform is obligated to pay the replacement cost.
TRANSPORTATION
All team members must ride the bus to away meets when a bus is provided.
Middle School students may ride home with their parent/guardian provided they have brought in a note to the main office on the day of the game. (It must be the parent/guardian of the student that they are riding with NOT someone else’s parents)
Please make arrangements to pick your son/daughter up from the practices at the time that practice is over and from the meets when the bus arrives back at Tahanto.
COMMUNICATION
Communication regarding practices, game schedules, cancellations etc. can be found on the Tahanto athletic web site. Please check the site on a regular basis as changes are made frequently due to weather, cancellations, etc. Each team has their own web page where the information for that team can be found
When parents or athletes have a problem, concern, or question please contact the coach of the team. The coach’s contact information can be found on the Tahanto athletic web site. If there is a general question please contact the athletic director.
We strongly encourage athletes to talk to their coaches when they have questions or concerns.
