The 2008 Season

The Kids, Incorporated Track program is open to boys girls age four (4) through sixth grade.  A child must be four (4) years of age, on or before the first meet of the season to be eligible to participate (April 19, 2008).

Each team will participate in one meet per weekend.  Meets take place at the following times:

• Saturday mornings (10:00am)
• Saturday afternoons (2:00pm)

Children in Pre-K through 4th grade compete on 220-yard tracks situated in various parks around Amarillo.  For this age group, all races use a relay format, either 4-person or 8-person.

The 5th and 6th graders compete on a regulation 400-meter track.  For this age group, there are individual, as well as relay races involved.  There are no field events.

At the conclusion of each race, every participant receives a ribbon, so no one ever goes home empty-handed!

The program fee is $30.  Your program fee includes the following:

• a t-shirt for your child to keep

• a 5 x 7 team photo (ask for details)

• a year-end individual award

• four track meets

• paid meet coordinators

Communication Is Critical

If you have not heard from a coach on or before Monday, April 7, 2008, we recommend that you contact our office to check on the status of your child's registration form.

It could be that we do not have sufficient interest to form a team at your child's school for his particular grade.  There is always a possibility that we could be facing a shortage of volunteer coaches.

In either case, we ask parents to maintain communication with our office and do so until your child has been placed on a team.

Payment Instructions

Please do not send money to the school.  Once your child has been placed on a team, a coach will contact you and will ask to collect the program fees from each team member.  The coach will submit the team roster and program fees at one time.

If you prefer to pay in person, you may do so after your coach has submitted the team roster.  This way, we will know who your child's coach will be and we will have the team roster in our office for recording your payment.
