Registration
Jets Spring Training starts March 26th. We meet at 5:45 pm at the Washington High School Track.
Because of frequent scheduling conflicts for the coaches this season, we are doing things a bit differently this year. However, we still want to give kids an opportunity to improve their fitness, make new friends and develop their self confidence.
Our plan is to offer training to kids twice per week, from 5:45 to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning on March 26th.
There are an abundance of optional racing opportunities to kids at St. Louis track meets and other races, but our main goal is to encourage kids to improve their fitness.
If kids want to order racing jerseys or enter optional races, those options and schedules will be made available. There are usually nominal fees for entry which vary by event and location.
For insurance purposes, runners must have a 2019/2020 AAU Card.
