TEAMS:
The teacher/coach must be a member of VTAHPERD in order to send a team. Each school may choose to compete at either the Southern competition site or the Northern Competition site (one or the other, not both sites). Each school may enter one 5th/6th boys team, one 5th/6th girls team, one 7th/8th boys team, and one 7th/8th girls team. Each team is
comprised of 6 (new in 2007) individuals. All members of each team will participate in ALL 4 EVENTS. All 6 athletes are expected to complete the competition. There will be a Division 1 for the largerschools and a Division 2 for the smaller schools. Each school must also send two people to help score the different events. The volunteers can be either high school students or adults. When the registration is sent in with your athlete’s names, you must also send in the names of your
volunteers. We will not accept your registration if there are no volunteers.

EVENTS:
The 4 events will be the mile run, modified push up, sit and reach, and one minute curl up test. Complete instructions of all tests will be available upon request and a review of competition rules will take place during the introduction at 9:10. Coaches must be in attendance.

SCORING:
All 6 athletes compete but only the top 5 best scores will count for each team total. The team score will be derived by totaling the top 5 individual scores of each team. In the event of a tie, an individual or team’s mile run will be used as a tiebreaker. All 6 athletes will receive individual results.

AWARDS:
Certificates of participation will be given to all contestants. Medallions will be given to the top three individuals in each division. Trophies will be given to the top three teams in each division.

TEACHER RESPONSIBILITY:
Each team must bring a responsible adult to supervise the 5th/6th grade team and one for the 7th/8th grade team. These 2  groups will not be together during the competition. Each team supervisor should have a clipboard and a pen. Coaches who stay with the team and volunteers who help with events are two separate groups.

LUNCH and SNACKS:
Athletes and adults should bring their own snacks, drinks, and lunch. Each team must clean up their own area in the bleachers before leaving.

CLOTHES:

The teacher must be a member of VAHPERD in order to send a team.*Make check payable to VTAHPERD and please make sure the name of your school is noted on the check.
