Coaches,
We look forward to having your athletes at the St. Christopher’s 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.
• TEAMS MAY NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 3:00 PM.
• THERE IS NO BUS PARKING AVAILABLE AT ST. CHRISTOPHER’S SCHOOL DURING THIS TRACK MEET. 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. CHRISTOPHER’S IS LOCATED IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOR THIS MEET TO CONTINUE, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE RESPECT THOSE THAT LIVE AROUND THE SCHOOL.
• LOWER SCHOOL PARKING LOTS OFF PEPPER AVENUE ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PARKING FRIDAY OR SATURDAY. THERE WILL BE KINDERGARTEN TESTING IN THE LOWER SCHOOL ON SATURDAY AND THEY WILL BE USING THE LOTS OFF PEPPER AVENUE. ANY MINIBUSES PARKED IN THE LOTS OFF PEPPER AVENUE WILL BE TOWED. ALL OTHER LOTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR MINIBUS PARKING. PLEASE REFER TO THE ATTACHED PARKING MAP FOR OTHER LOTS.

THERE WILL BE CONCESSIONS OFFERED UPSTAIRS IN THE ATHLETIC CENTER AND THERE ARE RESTROOMS LOCATED UPSTAIRS AND OFF THE NORTH END OF THE FIELD HOUSE (OPPOSITE THE FINISH LINE AREA). PLEASE ASK YOUYR ATHLETES TO RESTRICT THEMSELVES TO THESE AREAS THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND WHEN INSIDE THE ATHLETIC CENTER.
• ATHLETES MAY WEAR SPIKES IN THE FIELD HOUSE ONLY. SPIKES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN ANY OTHER INDOOR SPACES.
• 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. Christopher’s School is not responsible for lost or stolen objects.
• When you have gotten your teams to where they will be housed during the meet, 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 3:30 pm.
• Athletes are allowed in the concessions area upstairs, field house, training room, and outdoor track. All other areas are off limits. 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, but please remind your athletes that there is no food or drink allowed in the field house. Water bottles are acceptable. We will not be selling t-shirts this year.
• ONCE THE MEET BEGINS, THE INFIELD IS OFF LIMITS TO ALL ATHLETES NOT CURRENTLY COMPETING IN A FIELD EVENT. “CURRENTLY COMPETING” REFERS TO THE FLIGHT CURRENTLY JUMPING, THROWING OR VAULTING. THE INFIELD IS OFF LIMITS TO ALL COACHES AND SPECTATORS AT ALL TIMES ONCE THE MEET HAS BEGUN. THERE WILL BE A DESIGNATED AREA FOR POLE VAULT COACHES.
