  22. 2014 Track and Fieldand Cross Country Points of Emphasis

  23. Coaches “getting it right” with uniforms • Cross Country is a sport which traditionally has colorful uniforms and styles that serve different purposes for performance • Having the athletes show up for competition in a legal uniform starts with the coach • Any time there is a violation due to uniforms, it is a violation that could have been avoided • The officials do not have the responsibility for putting athletes in legal uniforms, but do have the responsibility to enforce the rules

  24. Coaches “getting it right” with uniforms • It is the coach who must know the rules and then take the time each season to educate his/her athletes on the rules and to come ask questions of the referee if the athlete wants to wear a different garment due to weather or an injury • This season, there are changes in the uniform rule that coaches must educate their athletes to these rule changes and emphasize the importance and responsibility of each athlete to be accountable for his/her actions to come ready to participate in a legal uniform
