St. Christopher's Invitational 2012

Richmond, VA

Meet Information

Coaches,

We look forward to having your athletes at the sixth annual St. Christophers Indoor Track & Field Invitational. There are some details that you will need to be aware of and make your team aware of before you get here.

THERE IS NO PARKING AVAILABLE AT ST. CHRISTOPHERS FOR LARGE BUSES. LARGE BUSES MAY DROP OFF AND PICK UP ONLY. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE YOUR BUS DRIVER DROP OFF THE TEAM AT THE ATHLETIC CENTER AND RETURN LATER TO PICK UP THE TEAM. ST. CHRISTOPHERS IS LOCATED IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOR THIS MEET TO CONTINUE, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE RESPECT THOSE THAT LIVE AROUND THE SCHOOL.

MINIBUSES MAY PARK IN THE LOWER SCHOOL LOT OFF PEPPER AVENUE AND THE CORNER OF MAPLE AVENUE AND FERGUSSON RD. IT IS A SHORT WALK FROM THERE TO ST. CHRISTOPHERS RD. AND THE ATHLETIC CENTER.

ONCE INSIDE THE ATHLETIC CENTER, TEAMS WILL BE HOUSED IN THE FIELD HOUSE BALCONY AREA AND BLEACHERS. IF MORE SPACE IS NEEDED, THE OVERFLOW WILL BE HOUSED IN THE GYM UPSTAIRS.

ATHLETES MAY WEAR SPIKES IN THE FIELD HOUSE ONLY. NO SPIKES IN THE HALLS OR THE GYM.


There will be security at the meet. They will be walking the facility throughout the meet. However, please instruct your athletes to make sure they take care of their cell phones, iPods, etc. Security cannot be everywhere at once. Always have someone watching your team area. St. Christophers School is not responsible for lost or stolen objects.

When you have gotten your teams to where they will be housed during the meet, please come to the field house. We will have a (hopefully) short coaches meeting to familiarize you with the facility, check-in procedure, conduct of the meet, and distribute heat sheets. That meeting will begin around 3:15 pm.

Athletes are allowed in the gym upstairs, concessions, field house, training room, and outdoor track. They may not enter locker facilities or other buildings. Athletes found in areas that are off limits will be scratched from the remainder of the meet and asked to leave the Athletic Center.

There will be concessions offered upstairs where the teams will be housed, but please remind your athletes that there is no food or drink allowed in the field house. Water bottles are acceptable. T-shirts will be sold in the hallway area next to the field house.

ONCE THE MEET BEGINS, THE INFIELD IS OFF LIMITS TO ALL ATHLETES NOT CURRENTLY COMPETING IN A FIELD EVENT. CURRENTLY COMPETING MEANS WHATEVER FLIGHT IS CURRENTLY JUMPING, THROWING OR VAULTING. THE INFIELD IS OFF LIMITS TO ALL COACHES AND SPECTATORS.

Once the meet has begun, there will be no warming up on the indoor track. There is an outdoor track outside the back of the field house that is available for warming up.

There will be a trainer on duty during the meet.
If you have any other questions prior to the day of the meet, please e-mail me.
