Practice Schedule:
Mon - Fri 2:15- 4:15
All athletes must be on time for warm-up.
Practice Gear
All athletes must also wear shirts and shorts that are the appropriate length. We will not be running in sports bras. Our season takes place during a time of year when the weather can change quickly, and we must be prepared.
Attendance: If your athlete is going to be absent, please send me an email letting me know. Any athlete with more than three unexcused absences will be dismissed from the team.
Team/Remind App
All communication with parents and athletes will be on either the team app or the remind app or both. Download the team app and remind app on your phone and request access to Cleveland Girls Track on team and text @chsgirls25 to 81010. Once you have access, you will be able to get all announcements through the app. Parents and athletes should sign up.
Earning a Varsity Letter

∙ Earn 1 pt. at the District Track Meet or ∙ Run on a relay at the State Track meet regardless of place or

Classroom Conduct
Girls must be on time and in class daily. All athletes are expected to turn in work and maintain good grades. Academics are the priority of school, not athletics.
Parent Volunteers
It is super important that we have parents volunteer for ALL of our home meets. We are in charge of running concessions and the gate. We need as much parent support as possible. Coach Martinez will be setting up a form to get parents to sign up, please be on the lookout for that.
Fundraising
Our goal is to have each athlete fundraise one hundred dollars. We will be selling candy as well as track apparel. Any combination of selling $100 dollars’ worth of materials will work. If an athlete does not want to sell and wishes to get a $100 sponsorship that will work as well.
Cleveland Storm Track and Field Athlete Rules
I- With the school philosophy in mind each athlete will be expected to perform their best work diligently, be courteous, and behave appropriately at all times while representing the school.
II- Athletes are expected to be on time and be prepared to practice. Track practice will be 2:15 - 4:15 each day, Mon-Fri. Practice will be held at the high school track and field facility. If an athlete is going to miss or be late to practice she must inform the Head coach. If an athlete needs to see the trainer, she must see the trainer during lunch or before school. The trainer will inform the head coach of the diagnosis. DO NOT waste time by showing up to the track and then going to see the trainer.
III.- You are reminded that each of you is representing Cleveland High School, the City of Rio Rancho, your parents, your coaches, but most of all yourselves. You cannot buy respect it is to be earned. Earn it through proper behavior and the respect you give to others. We want our program to be respected. In essence, you are an ambassador of your community.
IV.- If you are caught with alcohol or drugs you will be dismissed following a meeting with the A.D., coach, athlete, and parent. (Athlete Code of Conduct)
V- If charged with any illegal behavior you will immediately be suspended from the team until the case goes to court. If you are found guilty, you will be dismissed from the team. If the charges are dropped you shall be reinstated to the team.
VI- The Locker room and Weight room are your home. This home will be kept clean and if need be, remind others to keep their area clean. Secure all valuables in a locker with a lock.
VII- Respect for your teammates is a must to have a successful season. If your conduct undermines the team aspect of our squad, a meeting will be held with the athlete. If this continues a meeting with the parents will be held and the athlete could be suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. Respect for your coaches (Head, assistant, volunteer) is a must at all times. They are putting their time and effort into making you a better athlete and person. If a problem arises you need to be mature enough to talk to the coach to rectify the situation. Do not quit on your coaches and teammates because your coaches will not quit on you.
VIII- When catching the bus, you must be at the site 15 minutes before departure time for roll call. Water, jugs, bags, and canopies need to be loaded and unloaded by squad members. Coaches will not load for you.
IX- You will be checked out for a team warm-up and uniform. The team shirts and Sweats are to be worn at all events. These are to be checked in at the end of the season. You will be held accountable for the condition you return it in, or failure to return.
X. Public Display of Affection – Track meets have a lot of downtime. But like any other sport, PDA at an event in practice or on a bus to or from a meet is inappropriate and could lead to dismissal from the team. Please adhere to this policy at all times.
