REGISTRATION:
Registration of athletes, packet pickup, and payment of fees will begin at 9:00 AM in the gymnasium, not the track area. All coaches and athletes should report directly to the gym, entering from the Malcolm X Blvd., aka New Dudley Street side door. Note: Coaches will be asked to make scratches as they begin the registration process. Coaches will also need to complete, sign, and submit the Emergency Contact Form found at the end of this packet.
FEES:
$20.00 per individual athlete; (New no separate fee for relays - $20.00 per
competing athlete one $20.00 fee if the athlete is entered in multiple events.)
There will be no refunds and no purchase orders will be accepted, check or cash only.
Checks should be made payable to the CNESSPA and paid at registration on the day of the meet. Please do not mail a check prior to the event.
(Note: Only team members listed on the entry submission and two coaches will be allowed through the competitor gate. $10.00 per person can be added to the entry check for additional coaches. It would be extremely helpful for all athletes and coaches from each school to report to registration together.)
IMPORTANT: Due to the fact that the meet is very popular and spectators
come from all the N.E. states, the Reggie Lewis Center is filled to capacity.
So we are obliged to monitor carefully all non-registered athletes. THERE
ARE NO ALTERNATES IN THE RELAYS. Coaches must understand this fact.
We cannot allow non-competitors to be passed into the meet for free. The
Boston Fire Marshals are very cognizant of overcrowding, and in the past
have ordered us to close the doors early causing some parents to be unable
to see their sons or daughters compete. Please inform your parents to arrive
early.
National Federation rules govern the meet. No event will be held up to wait for an athlete competing in another event.
