Questions for Athletes:

Questions for Parents:

During track meets, we have a “home base” (tent/tarps) where our team sits and places their equipment. All parents will be asked to serve 1-2 shifts during the season as a tent parent during meets. I understand that parents will be asked to help out with track meet supervision of athletes? Yes____ No____

This year, HSAA may sponsor a Regional Track & Field meet. We will need our families to contribute in various capacities in order to have a successful and efficient meet. A few of the duties include sorting awards, distributing awards, concessions, tickets, checking in athletes to events, posting results, etc. I am willing to help? Yes____ No_____

Commitment:

I understand the cost for HSAA track is approximately $300 (HS) and $200 (MS) and additional costs will include uniforms ($37), warm-ups ($50), running shoes, and spikes.

Because there are no try-outs, I understand that registering for the track team is a commitment by our family to participate in the upcoming track season. Based upon the selected payment plan, I understand that we must pay a minimum of $100 toward basic fees at registration, as well as the uniform and warm-up fees. I also understand that money paid at registration is non-refundable. I further understand that no payments are refundable once practice begins.

If an athlete quits the team after uniforms have been ordered, all uniform items will be donated to the team and the money to purchase them will not be refunded.

Only fundraising monies earned prior to the registration date can be applied to individual basic fees.
