The Buena High School track and field includes artificial turf and an all weather track. These materials are very sensitive. Damage created by negligence or even “accidents” could result in the loss of our privilege to use the facilities. The following rules will be strictly enforced during practices and meets:
- The track area may only be entered by athletes and Tigres staff (coaches, student coaches & board members). Parents may only enter onto the track area when requested to do so by a Tigres staff member or when at their assigned volunteer position during meets. Please be sure your athlete has water and their sweaters/running pants when going on the field.
- Only water bottles or CLEAR drinking containers with water will be allowed on the track or in the jumping areas. Absolutely no chewing gum or food are allowed on the track or turf area.
- Spiked shoes should rarely be used in practice. Coaches will determine when this is acceptable. On race day, track spikes must be approved by the Clerk of the Course – 3/16” needles or less.
- Removable tape can be used for relay and jumping marks. Beyond that, absolutely nothing should be stuck to or pushed into the track or turf (e.g. sticks or stakes).
- Extreme caution should be used when using or transporting tools and shot puts around the track and turf.
- No dogs (of any size) are allowed anywhere in the stadium area during practices or meets.
Thank you for your cooperation – it will help to ensure that the Tigres have use of Buenas great facility for many seasons to come!
