Background checks to renew
membership can start as early as Nov1 to renew and the latest by February
28, 2009.
Coaches would like to find
another program besides Club Manager. We gave them the pros of
having Club Manager which were: You can manage your club plus
enter in meets. A suggestion was made to take a survey of other meets
and see their programs and see if they are easier to use.
It was also mentioned that
there is a problem with officials coaching while their kids are on the
field a suggestion was made that they have someone to cover for them
while they watch their kids and then return to their post. It is not
a USATF rule to have coaches on the field but the discretion of the
meet director. It was also suggested that we create a coaches
box and or passes for coaches to be able to come on the field but that
suggestion was out voted. Rule 144 No coaches on the field.
If a team was to be able to
get 5 plus people to want to become officials they will come out to
what ever the area is and give the test to become a certified official.
Coaches also made the statement
that at some track meet their athletes misses some of their events,
we let them know that is the responsibility of the coach the parent
and the athlete.
Feedback on the binders was
done by the coaches plus additional information was given out to be
added to the binders.
No longer will we be deleting
athletes at the track meet to reduce prices.
Birth Certificate can go to
Tony or Hika until further arrangements has been made.
Volunteers hours for track
meet will be cut down Maria and Debra are working on how long and how
many people it will take to complete each job function.
ROTC group will help with the
PAC Track Meet.
Exhibition events can be held
at a track meet by the discretion of the meet director.
USATF cannot control what a
team does with their funds once they are disbursed to that team.
USATF cannot do anything about
a team that takes a spot and then compete AAU.
Going by the by laws alcomers
meets will not be hosted by our website there is a website that list
