General Information
Each school/coach is responsible for coordinating and running a minimum of 1 event per year.
There are no dues to join the WSSL, only a commitment to run at least one event per year, and help event runners during other meets with event running and grading.
Some schools will need to host a meet every few years. The hosting school will assume all costs for hosting the meet.
Meets begin at 4:00 pm.
Event sponsors should gear their events to last approximately 45 -55 minutes. Try to keep the grading quick and efficient.
All coaches need to help out with events. If needed, volunteers are required to assist sponsoring coaches in running and scoring events.
