***Parents and fans react to the results the way that you respond or coach them to respond.  In a smaller venue, every reaction is even more obvious.  Tech judges are available to answer coaches’ questions but none of the staff will discuss results with parents.  Your professionalism at this event is appreciated.

HELPFUL TIP: Coaches: Be prepared to have all roster information for your athletes including birthdates, to begin the registration process. Once your account is set up, this will only be needed once.
