Track & Field is a competitive sport, all athletes must attend three meets on Saturday, to be on the team. There will be no practice only athletes.

We have reached the point that we just can no longer accept athletes who only want to practice on our team, that takes away our coaches time in training our athletes who do compete, so our policy is that we do not accept practice only athletes. Saturday Meets are mandatory

A proof of age document must be uploaded using the form on the runstorm.org website for each athlete that is New to the club. If you competed in 2019 Track & Field or 2019 Cross Country for Storm we have your proof of age document still on file.
