Pearlgate Practices at the Works Fieldhouse

Pearlgate athletes will have their access to the Works Fieldhouse included in their membership, but only for your scheduled practices when a coach is present and for athletes who show up on time.

1. Your Scheduled Practices: Practices listed on the website, for the program with which you are registered.

2. When a Coach is Present: If a coach is not present for a particular practice, the practice will be cancelled, and you will not have access to the Works Fieldhouse.

3. For Athletes who Show Up on Time: Athletes who arrive at the front desk of the Works Fieldhouse after the start time of their practice will not have their access included. They will be required to pay the drop in fee. 

Lead Coaches will be provided with a swipe card that has enough "passes" for each registered athlete, for each practice. Athletes who arrive at the Fieldhouse will:

1. Wait in line at the front desk.

2. When they make it to the front desk, the coach will be waiting for them and swipe the card for the athlete.

3. The front desk staff will provide the athlete with a bracelet.

4. The athletes must:

• Put on the bracelet before leaving the front desk.
• Keep the bracelet on at all times.
• Remove outdoor footwear before going down the steps towards the track and change rooms.
• Store all footwear, outerwear, and bags in the changes rooms or hangers behind the front desk.
• Only use the lanes reserved for Pearlgate (the outside two lanes, lanes 5 and 6).
• Look both ways before crossing the track.
• Follow all other facility rules.

5. Only athletes in the Performance Programs are allowed to wear 3mm spikes during Your Scheduled Practices, When a Coach is Present.  You must also have permission from your coach to wear the spikes. Spikes can only be worn on the red track surface. Any use of the spikes on any other surface (including "heel-walking") will result in the immediate loss of spike privileges for an indefinite period of time.

If any one of the three access criteria are not met:

1. Your Scheduled Practices

2. When a Coach is Present

3. For Athletes who Show Up on Time

Athletes will need to pay to access the Works Fieldhouse as would a member of the general public. 

Athletes who are attending the Works Fieldhouse outside of Your Scheduled Practices or When a Coach is NOT Present, must follow the same facility rules as the general public. This includes but is not limited to:

• NOT wearing spikes.
• Following the direction of the track as it changes every 30 minutes.
• NOT using blocks or any other Pearlgate or NLAA equipment stored at the Works Fieldhouse.
• Respecting the lane assignments (walking, running, reserved).  
• Accessing the part of the facility you paid to access (example: if you pay to access the track, you can not go use the treadmills upstairs, unless you also pay to access the gym).

When accessing the Works Fieldhouse outside of Your Scheduled Practices and When a Coach is NOT Present, you are using the facility just as the rest of the general public, however, you are still representing Pearlgate Track and Field Club. 

Any misuse of the facility, even as a member of the general public, may be viewed by staff or other members of the public as misuse by Pearlgate Track and Field Club, and negatively impact our ability to access and use the Works Fieldhouse for Pearlgate practices.
