INSTRUCTIONS

 

RULES AND REGULATIONS

Please go to our website (www.li-kickline.org) to review the Competition Rules.  You are expected to know the rules and regulations for the division in which you are competing and for the overall competition.  

AS PER THE SCHOOLS, BALLOONS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED IN ANY COMPETITION FACILITY.  ADDITIONALLY, THE SCHOOL REQUIRES THAT FOOD OR DRINKS NOT BE TAKEN INTO THE GYM.

LOCATION

The first two competitions will be held at Commack Middle School which is on Motor Parkway west of Commack Rd.  Buses should go past the school and turn into the first driveway and park in the back lot. Team members will enter the building from that lot.  Spectators should park in the front and side lots.

 

MUSIC TAPES

Be sure to have a high quality tape, rewound to the beginning of your music.  Do not use your practice tape, and it is suggested that a back-up tape be brought for an emergency.

 

JUDGES TAPES

These will be provided by LIKA. REMEMBER, these tapes will be reused at future competitions this year.  You must bring these tapes, rewound to the beginning, to the next contest.  Tapes are to be submitted to the main table 15 minutes prior to the contest’ start time. Lost tapes, or tapes not turned in on time will cost $10 for 6 replacement tapes.

 

MEDICAL STATEMENT

Upon arriving, you will be required to sign a statement indicating that to the best of your knowledge all members of your line are medically capable of performing.  Students with braces, ace bandages, etc., or students previously injured, must have a medical clearance signed by a doctor and not a parent.  Students needing inhalers should bring them, and past experience says a light breakfast is needed before performing.

 

START TIME

Doors open at 9AM and the competition begins at 9:30. Spectators and team members must remain outside until 9AM.

 

ORDER OF PERFORMANCE **

Order of Performance (Program) for competitions can be copied from our website: www.li-kickline.org.  Please make copies for your team, as no programs are distributed to team members at the door. 

 

SEATING:**

Team members will be seated in the auxiliary gym and a video feed of the competition will be shown there.  If possible, several teams will be able to sit in the main gym but will have to leave equipment in the auxiliary gym. Spectators will remain in the gym.  Unfortunately, the climate of today requires more vigilance in order to protect our children.  Our staff feels strongly that separating performers and spectators allows them to provide more protection for team members.  Since this staff includes off-duty police officers and licensed security guards (with experience at public schools, we feel compelled to accept their advice.  For safety, we will not allow spectators to visit team members without permission of a LIKA staff member, and then, only in rare instances. Violation of this rule may result in a team’s disqualification.  Additionally, while a team is performing, the on-deck team may only stretch out of sight of the floor.  Please inform your spectators of these rules and that at no time may they block the view of the judges or stand behind them.

 

SPECTATOR FEES

Teams with spectator buses should collect admissions prior to entering.

 Adults………………..$7

In the event of inclement weather please tune to News 12 for reports of delays or cancellation
