Option 2: XC Season Registration (w/a la carte meet registrations)
The XC season registration fee includes a team uniform to use for the season and the flexibility for runners to participate in meets based on their (your child’s) availability. With this option, meets are paid separate from this (season registration) in an a la carte manner, where parents will pay the $25 meet fee, connect with Coach Dave to indicate the specific meet at hand (on a week by week basis), and he will then register your child into said meet.
USATF registration (and possibly AAU registration if your child opts for AAU) is required for season participation and Junior Olympic meets in November and December. Please be sure to complete the age verification process when registering your child with USATF. USATF Junior Olympics includes up to three meets: 1) Associations which everyone may participate in, 2) Regionals which runners must qualify for individually or with a team, and 3) Nationals which runners must qualify for individually or with a team. There are no qualifying rounds for AAU at this time (AAU XC is mostly east coast, and not many coaches in the PNW wish to host a qualifying meet, hence the guaranteed entry into the national AAU meet). AAU registration is only necessary if your child plans to run AAU Nationals in December.
See the Join the Team page for Whisper, USATF, and AAU registrations.
Unreturned uniforms are $129.
