Minooka SmithStrong Invitational

COVID Protocols

We understand that many people have many different views on the current situation. While attending our Invitational, we kindly ask all to respect the protocols that have been put in place while attending our Track & Field meet.

Areas for camps:

We will have an area in both our practice football fields for you and an area for your athletes to watch some action in the Visitor Bleachers. Please police your athletes and remind them of the importance of wearing masks and socially distancing. There are still a lot of eyes out there just waiting to jump on people/schools that do things wrong. I don’t want that attention

Spectators:

I do not think too many spectators for a single athlete has been a huge issue.

All spectators must be masked at all times.

Spectators should remain socially distanced from other spectators. We have brand new bleachers on the Home Stretch. I do not want to assign parents seats. Please just remind all your parents to spread out. There is plenty of space. If we get to a point where I feel that parents are not socially distanced enough, I will have my parents usher spectators to seats.

Running Events - Spectators should remain in the bleachers. No standing along the fence near the track.

Field Events - Please keep back a minimum of 12 feet from the field event area and avoid close contact with athletes.

Please respect gated and blocked areas and follow instructions on site.

Restrooms will be available for spectators. Port-a-johns behind home bleachers. Concessions have some on the Southside of the building. Also some located behind the Visitor bleachers.

Track:

Teams can warm up shortly after they arrive as a team if they’d like. Once warm-ups are over, please make sure your athletes do not enter the Track area until 30 minutes prior to their event. I’d like the infield as clear as possible throughout the meet.

I will have two designated entry gates for athletes and two designated exit gates.
