2. General Team Rules Practice Attendance: Once school begins, each athlete is expected to attend all primary practice sessions Monday through Saturday. Every effort must be made to schedule time so that there are no conflicts with daily practice.  If a valid reason for missing practice exists (illness or emergency), the athlete must notify the coach prior to the practice that will be missed. MISSING PRACTICE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFICATION WILL RESULT IN SUSPENSION FROM COMPETITION.  Text Coach Carney @ 909-496-4888 (athlete name, date of absence, and reason)  It is at the discretion of the coach to determine whether or not athletes that are ill or unable to complete practice sessions 72 hours prior to a competition will be allowed to race. In the interest of safety, the coaching staff reserves the right to hold out of competition any athlete that is unable to satisfactorily complete a preceding workout session.

3. General Team Rules XCSTATS.com Athlete Profile: Each athlete is expected to register on the XCSTATS.com website as a member of the Yucaipa Team.  This includes entering athlete and parent email addresses, setting up competition goals, and using the training log feature.
