ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The objectives of our program are to unite the youth of our parishes and to help promote their spiritual, physical and social welfare by bringing Catholic truths, principles and ideas into their everyday life. The programs are intended to be character builders, reflecting the ideals of good sportsmanship and Christianity. Once an individual accepts the position as coach in the Diocesan Recreation Association program, he or she accepts the responsibility to implement the philosophy of the Association.

SCHEDULE

1. This year the season will consist of 2 Qualifying Meets and 1 Championship Meet. 2. At this time we do not have a “rain” date. IF needed, I will look into it. 3. The dates of the Track Meets are April 10, April 24 and May 8.

CANCELING A MEET

1. Track & Field is an outdoor sport. Canceling a meet is a difficult decision and is usually done due to inclement weather. 2. The decision to cancel a meet can be done as early as the day before or as late as 2 hours prior to the start of a meet. 3. Notification will be made via email to the track coaches and Athletic Directors. 4. Canceling simply means that meet will be contested on the next scheduled date pushing each subsequent meet forward.

ELIGIBILITY FORMS & FEES 1. All on line eligibility lists, parent consent cards and fees are due in the Diocesan Recreation Office by 9:00am Monday, March 29, 2021. All copies are to be submitted electronically. 2. The league fee is $60.00 for boys and $60.00 for girls, for a total of $120. 3. The participation fee is $15.00 per individual sport. 4. The administrative fee is $125.00 per parish.

Additions to the rosters must be in the office by 12:00 noon the Thursday before the second weekend of qualifiers. No additions to the roster can be made after this time.

With the exceptions noted above and below, all OHSAA and NFHS Track Rules will be utilized. IMPORTANT RULES FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRACK PROGRAM

1. All Spectators must stay in the stands and approved viewing areas. Parents and spectators must stay off the track, football field, and areas of the track. Spectators must stay BEHIND the safety areas designated in the and Discus areas. 2. Athletes NOT participating or lining up for an event are considered spectators and must follow the same restrictions to the participation areas. 3. Athletes are not permitted on to the track until given direction to do so. 4. Failure by any team to observe track access restriction may result in disqualification. 5. Each school is responsible for their own equipment. 6. Only uniformed athletes may hold starting blocks for participating athletes. 7. Electronic devises that may interfere with the public address system are prohibited. (boom boxes, Bluetooth speakers) 8. Spectators in the front rows of the stadium must observe the handicapped areas and be considerate of those behind them and must remain seated. 9. Standing by the front fence of the stadium seating is prohibited. 10. An athlete, who is disqualified from an event for un-sportsmanlike conduct, will be disqualified for the balance of the day. 11. Coaches should prepare and train their athletes for the events the athletes participate in. Adequate training and practice for skill events such as the Hurdles, High Jump, Shot Put and Discus are essential for the safety and development of the athlete in that event. Extra time should be spent with each athlete participating in these events to insure proper technique, the prevention of injuries and ridicule by other athletes. 12. Each School should provide parent volunteers to work each Track Meet. All volunteers must have a BCI report on file in their parish office and must have attended a Protecting God’s Children session. All volunteers must sign in for each meet they volunteer. Coaches are expected to help run the Track Meet. 13. The Track & Field participant must wear their uniform top so that it is visible to the officials on the track. Clothing can be worn underneath the uniform top if permitted by the coach of the team. 14. Everyone on the team must have the same color shorts. By 2017 all track uniform tops should prominently display parish name or nickname in order to quickly identify participants. 15. Video Taping: a. It is permissible for a parish team or its team representative to videotape or film a race in which said team is participating. Such a videotape or film may not be used for coaching purposes until the meet is completed. b. It is not permissible for a team or parish team representative to videotape or film a race or event of other teams without the written consent of the participating teams.

16 c. Spectators can film meets/games for family or private use. d. Parish teams and coaches may exchange game videos and films for coaching and scouting purposes. e. Violators will be subject to the suspension rule and or other penalties deemed by the commissioner. 16. Track participants, who are also playing baseball or softball, must attend baseball or softball games scheduled during the week. Participants who miss a scheduled baseball or softball game because of another track meet or track practice will be suspended from our weekend track meet. 17. Individual participants in the DRA sponsored baseball or softball programs are eligible to participate in the DRA Track Program. Coaches are asked to cooperate with each other for practice time. Participants must attend scheduled dates. 18. Hats are prohibited unless the cold weather warrants them. All hats must be approved by the event official. 19. Official times are recorded and kept on the track by the scorekeeper. Official times by the scorekeeper are final. 20. It is an unfair act when a competitor receives any assistance from any other person. Assistance includes: a. Interference with another competitor. b. Pacing by a teammate or other persons not participating in the race. c. Competitors joining or grasping hands with each other during a race. d. Competitors using an aid during the event. e. Communicating with a competitor through the use of any device. f. Coaching a competitor from a restricted area*. g. A competitor receives communication electronically during a race or trial. 21. A coach may verbally instruct a competitor provided the coach is positioned in an unrestricted area. For DRA Track purposes, a restricted area is defined as within the fenced-in area of the track, within a 10’ area surrounding the competition area i.e., the Shot put area behind the fence, the Discus area behind the ring, the Softball area behind the athlete staging section, the Long Jump runway and pit, the High Jump run up area and pit. Our main concern regarding this rule is the “spirit” of the rule. That is, giving an unfair advantage to one competitor over another. 22. The DRA has a rule that states no jewelry is to be worn during athletic contests. This includes earrings and they cannot be taped. No fitbits

QUALIFYING MEETS

Once qualified in an event the athlete may run in that event in subsequent Qualifier Meets. The athlete will be placed in the Championship Meet based on their best qualifying performance. 3. Team points are not awarded or recorded for Qualifying Track Meets.

Participants will qualify for championship events in the two qualifier track meets leading up to the Championship Meet. 4. If an athlete or a team qualifies in more than three events, the coach must decide which three events the athletes will compete in the Championship Meet. The three- event limit per athlete is strictly enforced. 5. A coach may elect to enter an athlete who did not qualify in any events during the qualifiers into one individual event and can be a filler in one relay for the championship. One relay team, per school per relay event, of all non-qualifiers may be entered. 6. If a field event athlete only qualifies in one event, they may be entered in another field event to give them two events for the championship. These additions will occur during the online entry process for the championship meet.. The intent is to let a child, unable to qualify in an event, to participate in the championship meet in up to two events. An athlete who has qualified in one event for the championship meet can only be added to an existing qualified relay team to get to 2 events. An athlete must participate in at least one qualifier to compete in the championship meet. 7. An athlete that qualifies for the championship meet in a relay may be entered in another event, providing said athlete participated in that event during a qualifier. 8. There is no limit to the number of athletes a team may enter into a single event as long as each athlete meets or exceeds the qualifying standard for that event. 9. There is no limit to the number of relay teams a team may enter into a relay event as long as each relay team meets or exceeds the qualifying standard for that relay event. Each qualified relay team entered, must consist of two of the original team members that qualified at that specific qualifying time and specific qualifying meet.

10. An athlete can only compete in a skilled event or the 1600M in the championship meet if he/she has participated in that event in a qualifying meet. 11. A first place medal will be awarded to the overall event winner in each division. 12. Championship Meet ribbons will be awarded to second through 8th place overall finishers for each event in each division. 13. Team points will be awarded for the top eight over all places in each event for each division. (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) If ties cannot be broken, like ribbons will be awarded and the points will be split. 14. Team scores for each division will be tallied and announced at the end of the meet. Team awards for the first two places in each division will be awarded at the end of the Championship Track Meet. 15. TrackMate will be utilized to enter athletes for the Championship Meet. Deadline to submit entries is 7:00PM the Wednesday prior to the Championship Meet.

22 ONLINE ENTRIES

1. All meets will utilize TrackMate, an online computer entry program. 2. Invitations will be emailed to each team the Monday before each track meet. 3. It is critical you follow the instructions in the TrackMate Coach’ s Handbook to accurately enter your athletes into their events. Failure to be thorough may result in errors on your part. Consequently, those errors could mean that your athletes do not compete in the meet they prepared so hard for. Don’t be THAT coach. 4. Entries must be complete and submitted by 9:00PM the Wednesday before the track meet. The program will be locked at that time and additions or changes will not be accepted. 5. No changes or additions will be permitted the day of the track meet. Relay team changes are permitted. Changes will be made with the event official at the time of check in. However, each relay must keep two of the original entrants. 6. Incorrect online entries do occur. In most cases the coach neglects to enter a number to help in heating the athletes. If this happens one time, a warning will be issued. If it happens again, athletes will be Disqualified.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Lindsay’s Law Information for the Youth Athlete and Parent/Guardian

• Lindsay’s Law is about Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in youth athletes. This law went into effect in 2017. SCA is the leading cause of death in student athletes 19 years of age or younger. SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. This cuts off blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. SCA is fatal if not treated immediately.

• “Youth” covered under Lindsay’s Law are all athletes 19 years of age or younger that wish to practice for or compete in athletic activities organized by a school or youth sports organization.

• Lindsay’s Law applies to all public and private schools and all youth sports organizations for athletes aged 19 years or younger whether or not they pay a fee to participate or are sponsored by a business or nonprofit. This includes: 1) All athletic activities including interscholastic athletics, any athletic contest or competition sponsored by or associated with a school 2) All cheerleading, club sports and school affiliated organizations including noncompetitive cheerleading 3) All practices, interschool practices and scrimmages

• Any of these things may cause SCA: 1) Structural heart disease. This may or may not be present from birth 2) Electrical heart disease. This is a problem with the heart’s electrical system that controls the heartbeat 3) Situational causes. These may be people with completely normal hearts who are either are hit in the chest or develop a heart infection

• Warning signs in your family that you or your youth athlete may be at high risk of SCA: o A blood relative who suddenly and unexpectedly dies before age 50 o Any of the following conditions: cardiomyopathy, long QT syndrome, Marfan syndrome, or other rhythm problems of the heart

• Warning signs of SCA. If any of these things happen with exercise, see your health care professional: • Chest pain/discomfort • Unexplained fainting/near fainting or dizziness • Unexplained tiredness, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • Unusually fast or racing heart beats

• The youth athlete who faints or passes out before, during, or after an athletic activity MUST be removed from the activity. Before returning to the activity, the youth athlete must be seen by a health care professional and cleared in writing.

• If the youth athlete’s biological parent, sibling or child has had a SCA, then the youth athlete must be removed from activity. Before returning to the activity, the youth athlete must be seen by a health care professional and cleared in writing.

• Any young athlete with any of these warning signs cannot participate in practices, interschool practices, scrimmages or competition until cleared by a health care professional.

Department Department of Health of Education

• Other reasons to be seen by a healthcare professional would be a heart murmur, high blood pressure, or prior heart evaluation by a physician.

• Lindsay’s Law lists the health care professionals who may evaluate and clear youth athletes. They are a physician (MD or DO), a certified nurse practitioner, a clinical nurse specialist or certified nurse midwife. For school athletes, a physician’s assistant or licensed athletic trainer may also clear a student. That person may refer the youth and family to another health care provider for further evaluation. Clearance must be provided in writing to the school or sports official before the athlete can return to the activity.

• Despite everyone’s best efforts, sometimes a young athlete will experience SCA. If you have had CPR training, you may know the term “Chain of Survival.” The Chain of Survival helps anyone survive SCA.

• Using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can save the life of a child with SCA. Depending on where a young athlete is during an activity, there may or may not be an AED close by. Many, but not all, schools have AEDs. The AEDs may be near the athletic facilities, or they may be close to the school office. Look around at a sporting event to see if you see one. If you are involved in community sports, look around to see if there is an AED nearby.

• If you witness a person experiencing a SCA: First, remain calm. Follow the links in the Chain of Survival:

v Link 1: Early recognition • Assess child for responsiveness. Does the child answer if you call his/her name? • If no, then attempt to assess pulse. If no pulse is felt or if you are unsure, call for help “someone dial 911”

v Link 2: Early CPR • BeginCPRimmediately

v Link 3: Early defibrillation (which is the use of an AED)

• If an AED is available, send someone to get it immediately. Turn it on, attach it to the child and follow the instructions • If an AED is not available, continue CPR until EMS arrives

v Link 4: Early advanced life support and cardiovascular care • Continue CPR until EMS arrives

• Lindsay’s Law requires both the youth athlete and parent/guardian to acknowledge receipt of information about Sudden Cardiac Arrest by signing a form.

Prayers

Before every game or match a prayer will be said. Below are four prayers from which you may choose. Teams will gather at the center of the field or court about two minutes before the game or match is scheduled to start. The home team will lead all participants and spectators in reciting the selected prayer. If the home team is not designated on the schedule, it will be decided by the flip of a coin.

The home team coach or a member of the home team may lead the prayer. Whoever leads the prayer must speak in a loud, clear voice to be heard by all participants and spectators in attendance. Spectators should be encouraged to participate in the prayer. Please keep this sheet with your score book so you will have it to lead the prayer.
