Team Camps: Non-competitors should be in the stands or Merner Field House. Athletes should refrain from making camps or throwing footballs, frisbees, or other objects in the infield. Entrances will be restricted through the stadium doors – do not climb fences for entry. The infield will be reserved for athletes to warm up and check in only. Extra traffic becomes a distraction and creates an unsafe environment for competitors and meet management. Please enforce this with your coaching staff and athletes. Teams are responsible for recovering their camp areas (i.e. implements, uniforms, garbage, etc.) Your cooperation is appreciated.

Inclement Weather: The North Central College athletic training staff will follow all procedures regarding lightning and storm conditions. Res-Rec will be available for teams to set up camps and for athletes to warm up.

Questions: Should be directed to North Central College assistant coach Mahesh Narayanan.
