1. I’m a sprinter and a jumper. Do I have to stay with the same event group for the entire clinic?
|
| Answer: Yes. Because there are a limited number of spots available and each day’s activities are designed to build on the previous activities, athletes must stay with the event group they signed up for. If you want to sign up for multiple event groups, we recommend registering for Sprints or Hurdles during Session I and then registering for your other event group for Session II. The option to register for Session II (at a discount) will be made available after you register for Session I.

2. Can I sign up for multiple event groups?
|
| Answer: Yes. Register for either Sprints or Hurdles during Session I and you will then be given the option to register for any of the other event groups being held during Session II. Athletes who sign up for both Session I and Session II will be given a significant discount for Session II.

3. If I sign up as a coach, do I have to stay with the same event groups for the entire clinic?
|
| Answer: No. Registering as a coach gives you a pass to attend both Session I and Session II activities as well as Friday night’s classroom sessions. During Session I and Session II you are free to roam from event to event at your leisure. In a nutshell, you can go wherever you want, whenever you want and listen/watch whatever you want for as long as you want!

4. Is this a complete camp program — room, board, resting, social activities, etc?
|
| Answer: No. The Complete Track & Field Clinic is not a camp. Instead, it is a 2 day clinic that is being run twice in succession: Session I: Thursday/Friday July 19-20 and Session II: Saturday/Sunday July 21-22. We assume responsibility for activities scheduled between 9am – 4pm on both days of Session I and Session II (as well as Friday night classroom sessions for registered coaches). Room and board, social activities, etc. are the responsibility of the athlete/parent/coach.

5. I’m coming to the clinic from out of town. Where should I stay?
|
| Answer: We have worked out deals with the following hotels located close to the track. We have a limited block of rooms so register quickly to avoid any issues with getting a room. Last year we had a large number of coaches/athletes attend from ‘out of town’ and we ran out of rooms. You’ve been warned!
The official ‘Headquarters’ for the 2012 Complete Track and Field Summer Clinic is the Providence Marriott Downtown, located at 1 Orms Street, Providence RI 02904. All the Coaches Clinic Sessions on Friday night will be held here at the hotel. Additionally, we will hold the Saturday night Coaches’ Social here at the hotel or within walking distance from the hotel. We have a limited block of rooms so register quickly to avoid any issues with getting a room. Last year we had a large number of coaches/athletes attend from ‘out of town’ and we ran out of rooms. You’ve been warned! You can register/reserve your room/s online by clicking here. It’s automatically populated when you click on the above link, but, in order to reserve the special room rates we have secured for the clinic, don’t forget to click on and add the Group Code: ctfctfa

6. Do I need to provide a lunch for my son/daughter who is attending or is lunch provided?
|
| Answer: Lunch will be provided for coaches and athletes on both days of both Session I and Session II. If you (a registered coach) or your son/daughter have dietary restrictions preventing you/them from eating the meals we are making available, it is your responsibility to bring your own lunch. We are not a restaurant and cannot have special meals provided or created.
