SCHOOL BASED TEAMS

This will be the 3rd year we offer school based teams.  School awards will recognize school teams for their overall performance of the athletes registered as part of the team.  Each athlete will complete the full event and is eligible for individual age group awards but will also be included in their respective school results.  The top three scoring schools will receive a school trophy.
 
The goals of team based awards are to:

(a) encourage participation in the events,
(b) encourage team-spirit among classmates as they compete in the event, and
(c) encourage team training for those who choose to prepare for the event.
 
This scoring approach will ensure that:
 

1. There is no overwhelming advantage for large schools, or for simply registering a large number of athletes (although that would be great!), as long as at least 6 athletes are registered for the team.
2. There is no incentive at all for any athlete to not participate or not be included on a school’s team.
3. The age distribution of athletes on the team does not matter.
4. The gender distribution of athletes on the team does not matter.

​  
How to register for team competition:

1. Register for the event as an individual athlete.
2. During registration select your school from the drop down menu of schools
3. If your school is not included in the list, send an e-mail to yms@trigulfcoast.orgto request that we add your school.
4. Tell your classmates to join the team!​
