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 emails for the cancellation Co-Directors will determine the make up meets

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.
