Point of Emphasis

Coaches “getting it right”
with uniforms
 Track and field is a sport which traditionally has
colorful uniforms and styles that serve different
purposes for performance
 Having the athletes show up for competition in a legal
uniform starts with the coach
 Any time there is a violation due to uniforms, it is
a violation that could have been avoided
 The officials do not have the responsibility for putting
athletes in legal uniforms, but do have the
responsibility to enforce the rules

staff have been registered with TSSAA.
Schools who use coaches that have not been
registered with TSSAA are subject to a $500
fine.
Use of Non-Faculty Coaches

TSSAA Concussion Policy
PROTOCOL FOR OFFICIALS DURING CONTESTS
1. Continue to monitor players for possible injury and concussions as usual.
2. Remove any player that shows signs of concussion.
3. Inform the head coach that the player is showing signs of concussion or other
injury.
4. The head coach is in charge of getting clearance from proper health-care provider.
5. The “TSSAA Concussion Return to Play” form MUST be completed, signed by a
licensed medical doctor (M.D.), Osteopathic Physician (D. O.) or a Clinical
Neuropsychologist with Concussion Training, and shown to the official(s) by the
head coach prior to a student-athlete returning to participate in a contest the
same day.
6. If a player that has been removed by an official is allowed to return to play during
the contest, an “Unusual Occurrence Form” shall be filed with the state office by
the official within 24 hours of the incident.
7. All TSSAA registered officials must understand and follow the above-written
protocol.
TSSAA Concussion Policy
Continued
 Coaches share the responsibility of removing
an athlete from competition when signs,
symptoms or behaviors consistent with a
concussion are observed.
 The playing rules give this responsibility to the
official, but the TSSAA policies extend that
responsibility to the coach in both
competitions and practice.

TSSAA Heat Policy
Coaches and administrators must review the
TSSAA Heat Policy at www.tssaa.org to make
sure that all required accommodations are
being made for practice or competition.
TSSAA Heat Policy
Modifications for Track and Field
Competition when the Heat Index is 95°104° :
Athletes should have access to unlimited water before,
during and after competition.
Athletes should be monitored closely for signs
of heat illness during the competition. No mandatory
stoppage of play required unless the heat index
exceeds 104°.
Athletes should re-hydrate and seek shade at each
available opportunity during the competition.
NFHS/TSSAA Lightning
Guidelines
 TSSAA follows the NFHS Guidelines found in your NFHS
Rules Book
 If lightning is seen or thunder is heard, IT IS CLOSE
ENOUGH TO STRIKE YOU!!
 Follow the thirty minute rule. Once play is suspended, at
least 30 minutes must pass after the last clap of thunder is
heard or the last flash of lightning is witnessed prior to
resuming play.
 Any subsequent thunder or lightning after the beginning of
the 30 minute count requires the clock to be reset and
another 30 minute count to begin.
Track Regulation Points of
Emphasis
 Uniform Rule- All uniforms must follow the
NFHS Rules. The referee will warn every
participant prior to the meet that they must
compete in a legal uniform, and if a
contestant competes in an illegal uniform,
then that contestant is disqualified from that
event. There are no team warnings or
individual warnings after the meet begins.
Officials should use preventative officiating as
much as possible.
Track Regulation Points of
Emphasis
 Jewelry Rule- The referee will warn every
participant prior to the meet that jewelry is
illegal, and if a contestant participates with
jewelry while competing, then that contestant
is disqualified from that event. There are no
team warnings or individual warnings after the
meet begins. Officials should use
preventative officiating as much as possible.
