We understand that cell phones are important to our parents and athletes. However, there is a RULE reason for our policy of turning the phones off until all activities are completed at a track meet.. This is very important, especially for parents who video their athletes during an event, especially field events. The ability to video your athlete could be viewed as a "Coaching" opportunity. It is against the Track and Field rules to video athletes and then have the athletes view the recording while still in the event. An athlete who is being recorded and then viewing the video while still participating can be disqualified.
 * Cell Phones/Video Cameras **

For this same reason we would hate to see an athlete with her phone out, watching a teammate, and her activities with the phone be misconstrued and the participating athlete be disqualified from her event. This is why we ask that all phones be off and left on the bus or in bags. At track meets many meet officials ask that all participants electronic devices be off while the meet is in progress. We will ask that you follow those expectations out of courtesy and respect as well as to protect the integrity of teammates events.
