The school also needs an auxiliary gym or a commons/lunch room that has aprox 150 sq ft per team plus space for pit admin and preferably inspection which is just a few hundred more sq ft. That 150 sq ft number is to account for isle space. Additional space may be needed based on the layout of the area, for example if there are lots of doors or other areas that can not be blocked or will be needed to store the mats, tables ect more space will be needed for the pits. In at least one instance the inspection station was in a wide area in the hall.

There also needs to be space for a practice field which is roughly another 1200 sq ft. In the PNW district we have had the practice field in the pits in a couple of instances. In others where the main gym is large enough the practice field was behind the pipe and drape that is behind the FTA desk.

Most schools do not have enough circuits in the area for the pits so there needs to be an area where a rental generator can be placed relatively closely.

Thank you, we were wondering for the possibility of holding an off season or if New York went districts but I am not sure if we have enough space to run it.
