Track Star Track Club - Rules

Any successful organization has some rules that help it succeed.  Track Star TC have a few that have helped keep order over the years. 

What is the measure of success for Track Star TC?  

Our goal is to take talented athletes and train them to a National Ranking that will get them an offer for a college scholarship.  

As you can see these are lofty but achievable goals.  They are goals that the coach is wholly committed to.  His expectation is that the athlete and parents are just as committed.  If they are not, then the athlete may not reach their goal.  If politics, gossip, and disrespect get out of hand, it could affect the performance of the team and the coaches ability to train them.

The coaches Rules to prevent distractions and obstacles to the teams goals are listed below:

1. No Relays
1. Runners/Parents please do not ask about relays.  It has the potential of disrupting our team.
2. If a runner must run relays, they must register with another team.
3. If we decide to run relays, the coach will put the relay team together.
2. All runners (selected by the coach) must purchase weight shorts.  The coach will ask that the athlete's have them by the end of April.
1. This request is being made to advance your training.  It is a serious request in order to meet the objectives of the season.  
2. You must bring your weight shorts on Sunday's, Monday's, Tuesday's, and to every practice at Rowlett Park.
3. Parents must provide me with a copy of your child's health insurance card.
4. Parents must provide me with a copy of the athlete's 2013 AAU Card with our team name, Track Star TC, on it by the end of May.  If not, your child will not be allowed to practice.
5. If your athlete is practicing with me and another AAU sport, they must complete the other sport before returning to me.  
6. Parents must not expect more from their athlete than the coach does.
7. Parents may encourage all runners.  However, only worry about your athlete!
8. Parents if your athlete is hurt or sick do not bring them to practice.  Call or text the coach.
9. All runners need to be at practice 3 to 4 days a week.
10. On the days of a track meet, all runners must report to the track 1.5 hours before their race.
11. If you are not coming to practice, call or text me.  The coach will return the favor.
12. Respect Everyone.
13. If you have a problem with someone please call them aside and talk it over.
14. Please do not arrive to practice more than 15 minutes late.
15. Parents must not interfere with practice.  It may seem like helping but it could be distracting the athletes, and/or coach.

The coach reserves the right to add more rules or adjust the enforcement of these rules to individual situations.  These rules are not to be a burden.  They are to help the club excel, help the athlete's excel, and help the coach do his job.

Thank you so much for your support on enforcing these few rules of conduct!  If you have any questions, or concerns, they can be addressed privately to the coach.

May you all reach your goals!!!  God Bless!
