WAMS-AO is offering an opportunity to students to participate on the WAMS Track and Field Team.
6th graders cannot register prior to Feb. 3rd. If there are spots left on the team, 6th graders can register starting Feb. 3rd. If you register your 6th grader prior to Feb. 3rd, your registration will be cancelled.
Track and Field consists of track events such as the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 races, hurdles and field events shot put and long jump.
The track and field season runs from mid March thru late May. The team will meet three times per week for a combination of practices and meets. Most practices will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at WAMS 2:30 to 4pm. Meets are on varying days.
Only those students who can participate three times per week should register.
Some practices will require going to Ridge High School's track. (Most likely on Mondays) Parents are responsible to transport their children to Ridge.
The team will compete in the CJJSAA middle school league. Home meets are at Ridge High School. Away meets are at other locations and we expect to provide busing to those away meet locations.
Eligibility: Any 6th, 7th or 8th grade WAMS student who can commit to the three day a week schedule may participate. Approximately 65 students will be rostered for the team. There are no tryouts. Registration is on a first come, first serve basis. Please do not register your child if they have other obligations that will conflict with this schedule.
As space is limited, this is first come, first serve for a roster spot so register early.
Athletic Physical Forms are due for EVERY student registering. Please see FAQ page for instructions as to which form to submit. Any student who has not submitted a completed physical by the posted deadline will forfeit their roster spot and fee. Forms are due by Feb. 23rd. It is strongly suggested that you submit it early in case it needs to be returned for outstanding info.
