Every school has their own process for registering athletes. You will follow the same procedure.
Contact us!
We're here to help you get ready for track season, whether it's helping you find equipment, talking to your school, or showing you racing techniques. Once you decide to join track, email us at iamanathletetoo@gmail.com.
Talk to your athletic director
Let your school know as early as possible about your intention of joining the track team. Your athletic director will need to discuss a plan with the school's conference regarding how to run regular season meets, as the MHSAA only has rules for regional and finals. Each conference will have their own rules for regular season meets. A plan that is proven, easy to implement, and ready to adopt is listed here.
practice practice practice!
