Protest Procedures
Protest procedures are governed by the rules of competition. The role of the competition management team is to enforce the rules. As coach, your duty to your athletes and team is to protest any action or events while your athlete is competing that you think violated official athletics rules. It is extremely important that you do not make protests because you and your athlete did not get your desired outcome in an event. Making protests is a serious matter that impacts a competition's schedule.
Check with the competition team prior to competition to learn the protest procedures for that competition.
