The Owings Mills Track Club's Registration is Open

The Owings Mills Track Club is now accepting registration for the 2016 season. Please read the following carefully.

Although the core of our program will remain children 7-14 yrs. old (DOB 2009-2002), we now also accommodate high school age athletes 15-18 years during the summer. We partition our season into a spring season and a summer/championship season with specific goals/requirements for each. The spring season is our developmental season and will run from tentatively March 29 – May 29. Practices will be Tuesday and Thursday nights and the first few Saturday afternoons until the first meet. There will also be Wed night practice for those with the ability to high jump or hurdle. There will be approximately 4/5 competitions during this season. The summer/championship season will run from May 31 – July 26 and will include competitions necessary to qualify for USATF and AAU Nationals

.

Obviously all should register for the spring season, however the summer season will require some planning and commitment from the athlete and parents. The summer season is for those children with the desire and drive to try and qualify for one of the National Junior Olympic Championships either AAU or USATF. In addition, parents need to be committed to taking their children if they qualify. The children who register for this season will have an extra practice each week (Mondays) and will be expected to participate in the championship meets. This season is not restricted to those with the best ability, but to anyone who demonstrates drive and commitment to advance to Nationals.

Parents/children who decide to register for both seasons from the start will have the opportunity to attend the extra Monday practice sessions starting in April. Children who register for the spring season will have the opportunity to register for the summer season midway thru May if they decide to continue. Children must participate in the spring season in order to register for the summer session, except 15-18 yo who run for their high school teams.

The registration fee for the spring season will be $150/child and for the summer season an additional $120/child.

Registration will need to be completed on line and is open Jan 11 – February 26 (earlier if we reach our limit). You must go to our website www.owingsmillstrack.com and fill out the necessary forms. You will now be able to pay on line. If there is an issue mail a check for either $150/child for spring season or $270/child for both seasons made payable to OMRPC to: Vince Rollo, 7 Charing Court, Owings Mills, MD 21117. (Write child’s name on check.)

The spring registration fee will cover team membership dues, uniform, and competition entrance fees. Summer registration will cover child memberships and meet fees. Registration is not guaranteed until payment processed. We tend to reach our quota quickly.

*We will have registration meetings on February 5th and 19th at New Town Elementary School 6:30 – 8:00 PM. It is mandatory to attend ONE of these meetings.
