SOKY Track & Field

Track Practice: 5:30pm-7pm.

Upon arrival, please check in and then find a seat in the bleachers at a taped section with your athlete. Coaches will speak before practice begins and direct athletes to the practice area that they will be starting at. In order to adhere to the Social Distancing guidelines, masks must be worn during practice-only taking off when competing in events that require physical exertion, but must be put back on after the event, and we all need to maintain a 6ft distance from one another. After the athlete has practiced both of their events, they are free to leave and must exit the practice area. Parents/caregivers, we appreciate your cooperation on this matter, and ask that you will remain in the bleachers unless assistance is needed. Thank you for helping encourage our athletes to social distance. We are all so grateful to be able to join together and are striving to keep everyone healthy and happy!
