4-6th graders are allowed to wear 1/8th “ spikes, this is NOT required.

14. Cancellation Policy
Co-Directors will determine whether meets are canceled or postponed due to weather
Canceling a meet is VERY last minute, sometimes it is not until we are on the track
Do not assume that because one meet is canceled that they will all be canceled.
Check your s for the cancellation
Co-Directors will determine the make up meets

15. Parent Responsibility
YOU are responsible for YOUR child
DO NOT leave children alone at the practice or meet
If you cannot be there, arrange with another parent to be responsible
It is NOT the coaches responsibility.
RAAA has a ZERO tolerance policy
Try to arrive 15 minutes before the start of each meet
Let your coach know if you are missing a meet so they can adjust their rosters.
