Coaches,

I wanted to take a moment to welcome you to the outdoor season. Please read this brief, but essential message carefully. If you missed the clinic, here is the OUTDOOR SEASON PRESENTATION I delivered:

The meet schedule can be found on our website https://mstca.org/calendar along with our entry formats. All entries should be made on https://www.directathletics.com prior to the deadline. Please read all formats carefully and enter only eligible athletes.

Beginning this past indoor season, we have moved our entry deadlines to Tuesday night at 8:00pm for weekend meets (with the exception of the Warrior Invitational, South Shore Twilight, and the Multis in June), but there will be NO LATE ENTRIES accepted at any of our meets. Please plan accordingly, and respect this policy as the only way we can fairly and equitably run our meet schedule for all track and field programs.

With the exception of the DI, DII, DIII, DIV, DV and DVI relays, all MSTCA meets are open to all MIAA member schools. For relays, you may only enter the meet for your division based on the MIAA ALIGNMENTS. Contact Mike Miller if you’re not listed in your correct division in Direct Athletics.

Due to complications with rescheduling sites, booking officials, and meet personnel, in most cases we will not have rain dates for our meets. We will do everything possible to hold our meets, rain or shine. Only extreme weather will result in us canceling a meet.

Please consider joining the MSTCA if you haven’t yet. The MSTCA offers single coach memberships and school wide memberships. Please reach out to Vice-President Matt Griffin (mstca.membership@gmail.com) or join at https://mstca.org/join-us

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions or comments about our meets. I can be reached at mstca.outdoor@gmail.com Looking forward to another great season!
