4. Regional Coaches:

In order to ensure that we have coaches available to take our athletes to regional competition we agreed to a rotation that would ensure that we have at least two coaches available on the Saturday of regional competition, and that they know of the date well in advance and can be available.

Note: We also understand that the coaches of the winning team(s) may decide to bump one of the rotation coaches. However, It is clear that the responsibility for taking the team rest with those assigned to the rotation.

It is assumed that the coach with the greatest number of participants on the team will accompany the team to Post District play-offs.
