I'm currently in high school, a junior, and was wondering how I can go
about running unattached from my high school for Track and Field?
Here is the basic story why I will want to run unattached. I go to a
different high school currently than the one I went to freshman year.
My freshman school had a pretty good track team and program, but this
current school is different. This school track program is mediocre in
my opinion. The coaches don't know much at all about training for
track, and the head coach promotes the stealing of sticks/batons from
my old school, and accomplished doing it twice. Well, because of the
lack of training I got, my sophomore season didn't go well. I tried to
train myself, by asking him if I could, at the beginning of the year,
and he denied my request, saying he would start training "better", or
something like that soon. That never really ever happened. He did
something for like a week, which wasn't good at all, and clearly showed
he didn't know much about training, and then stopped. Around spring
break, I went back to my old school, and trained with them for a week,
and got a program, which I followed the later part of the season,
because, for some reason the coach let me. I just said I got it from
some coaches, so he let me do it. Again, it was too late, and my
season paid for it.
I'm not having it this season, and have three options currently. My
first option is to get this coach to let me train with my old school
and run for this school. The second option is to practice under my own
program at this school and run for this school. The third option is to
go unattached. I'm questioning the second option, because of my great
disgust with this guy, if I can get enough meets unattached. And,
then, at least, I can stop this whole stick stealing easier.
So my question remains, how can I go unattached, or where can I find
meets that allow me to go unattached? Is there any websites that you
know of that have meets that allow unattached runners? I currently
live in South Carolina, but would mind traveling to another state for
meets, that is bordering or nearby states to South Carolina. I would
be grateful for any help anyone is able to provide. Please, I need any
help I can get. Thanks.
