We ask that coaches remind all spectators to remain behind the flags and that once the course is closed ALL ATHLETES must remain off the course.

An admission charge of $4.00 for adults / $3.00 for will be applied for any student not in uniform.  All WVSSAC passes will be honored. 

  PARKING- Coaches PLEASE inform your parents and fans that 3 shuttle buses will begin running at 7:00 from Wal-Mart and will run throughout the meet.  We have found over the last 2 years that this system works well and takes approximately 10 minutes transit time. Parking at the Apple Valley course will be limited to handicapped, coaches with equipment, and meet personnel. Cars parked along Apple Valley Road are subject to being towed.  School busses will unload at the site and then return to the Whitehall Church of Christ.
