I just wanted to pass on some details about the State Homeschool Track Meet. I am also gathering some more information about the LiveOak Invitational held in May as well, and will pass that on as soon as I have it.

I have an e-mail into John Ash, the organizer of the Texas State Homeschool Track and Field Championships, to ask him some more questions about registration. We may be able to get a group discount. However, we can not register as a team because we do not have a high school team and a coach in place. We can put together relay teams and travel to the event together. I would like to know who is interested and able to compete on April 24th. Please reply back if you want to participate as a group or help with putting some relay teams together. I will be setting up some practice times as well, when I see who is interested.

Blessings,

Julie Shaw

The first Texas State Homeschool Track & Field Championships was a great success last year with over 220 athletes participating, and we are looking forward to having even more this year. The meet will be April 24, 2010, at Belton High School (note the location change from last year).  Field Events will begin at 9:00, the 3200m at 10:30, and other running events at noon.  You do not have to be on a track team to participate. More details can be found at chargers.teamopolis.com.

We are adding a 10U this year for the 50m, 100m, 4X100m, long jump, and high jump.

We will again have the PeeWee 50m for all children in attendance under age 9, for which no registration is required.

Registration is a two-step process, and it is done differently depending on if you are entering with a team or as an unattached athlete.

1.  REGISTRATION FEE. ALL PARENTS go to the chargers.teamopolis.com website and register for the meet.  The registration link can be found in a box in the upper right corner of the page or in the left menu.  This is where you will pay their registration fee, pay for T-shirts if they want to pre-order them, and sign the liability waiver.  You may register all your children at once.

2.  EVENT ENTRY.

COACHES go to www.athletic.net to enter athletes in events.  You must have a free team account to do this.  You must also have your team designated as a “High School” team to be allowed to register for this meet.  When entering younger athletes, just leave the “Grade” and “Division” blank and enter the gender and birth date.

UNATTACHED ATHLETES will enter their events on www.athletic.net under the team name, “Texas Independent Homeschools.”  Instructions for how to do this are on the Chargers website when you register.

Registration is DUE midnight APRIL 19. There will be a $5 late fee for registrations received after this time. Final registration deadline is midnight, April 21.

Please be aware that you may make changes in your event entries up to midnight, APRIL 21.  NO changes or additions can be made after that time, no exceptions.

We look forward to seeing everyone there.

If you would like to receive emails about the state homeschool track meet, please respond and verify your continued interest. Also, please respond if you would like not to receive any furture information about the state meet. Thank you!

Please email or call John Ash at 254-493-8469 if you have any questions.

Meet Directors

PS – A group can still participate in the meet as a team even if you don’t have a full-fledged track program.  Call or email if you have any questions!
