We are moving forward with our season! We will keep everyone updated as to what COVID-19 protocols we will need to follow from the CDC and the district.
Full refunds will not be available for this registration in the event the season is cancelled in part or in full due to COVID. A fee of $25 will be withheld to cover administrative expenses including: insurance, website fees, background checks, an annual audit and filing of tax forms by an independent accounting firm, and a minimal amount of professional services required to maintain EAA as a nonprofit organization during this unprecedented pandemic year.
The EAA Track program is recognized by many as one of the best youth track programs in the state. The tradition continues in the 2021 season and we are looking forward to another fantastic track season!
PROGRAM
The EAA track program aims to introduce and promote the sport of track & field to Eagan’s youth. Our goal is to stress the importance of team, friendship and good sportsmanship in the track and field experience. In 2021, we anticipate approximately 700+ children from Grades K – 6 to participate in our program. The season consists of five meets and typically one practice per week. The fee for 2020 is $70 for Kindergarten - First Grade and $85 for Grades 2-6.
TEAM FORMATION
Teams for athletes in grades K-3 are created by individual request and school. Every effort is made to keep children enrolled in a specific school on the same team. If there are two more athletes from a specific school than can fit on one team, the athletes are split as evenly as possible between two teams. Also, NO ONE is allowed to run with another grade -- no exceptions!
Teams for athletes in grades 4-6 are based upon rankings from track results. Athletes are weighted based upon their record from the previous year and teams are built to result, on paper, with evenly balanced teams. School and individual requests are not taken into account with these grade levels. It is the final decision of the Track Director to approve formation of these teams.
