USATF Junior Olympic Meets
What do we mean by the "competitive season?" After all, in the middle school and developmental meets we compete against other teams and athletes.
We refer to the series of USA Track and Field (USATF) Junior Olympic meets as the competitive season. There are prerequisites and qualifying standards (described below.)
In the competitive season the "pressure" increases a bit, but not too much.
Remember that athletes are not required to compete, though we encourage them to do so!
Notes
The USA Track and Field (USATF) Junior Olympic series has prerequisites and qualifying standards.
Unless otherwise noted, the Alpha Crush team registration fee covers the cost of membership fees and meet entry fees (but not travel expenses, massages or snacks.)
Alpha Crush does all the administrative work regarding USATF memberships and meet entries.
Parents are responsible for:
Completing or verifying the upcoming meet entries
Providing age-verification documents when necessary
The dates, locations and information about each meet can be found on each meet's information page on this web site.
