WHAT YOU NEED TO ORDER:
Mandatory Singlet Top and Mandatory Running Short OR the black Compression Shorts.
Please note that the uniforms are NOT available in Youth X-Small (size 4-5). If your child wears a YXS, please order the singlet (top) in a Youth Small. Your child may wear a white or black t-shirt or tank under the singlet. The singlet is mandatory for the track meets. If a youth small short will not fit your child appropriately, I would suggest your child wear their own shorts (black please).
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE YOUTH IF YOU WANT A YOUTH SIZE. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SIZE CHOICES BEFORE TO COMPLETE YOUR ORDER. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON UNIFORMS
All uniforms are unisex sizes (singlet tops and running shorts).
Youth sizes will fit as usual standard youth sizes:
YS - Size 6-8
YM - Size 10-12
YL - Size 14-16
FOOTWEAR:
Please make sure your child has a good supportive pair of running shoes to participate in the track program. SPIKES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE MINI PROGRAM!
VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS: All families are required to volunteer. During registration, volunteer opportunities are listed. In our Mini group we need parents to help assist our primary coaches and during the meets we need parents to help measure at long jump during the track meets. You will only measure while your child's group is jumping. Volunteering will not cause you to miss your athlete competing in the other events.
Parent Assistant Coaches will rotate with their child's group during practice and meets and help the student coaches. By having the parents help, the student coaches are able to focus on coaching rather than other things.
