Annual Club Dues
Fees are due at the time of registration.

God Speed Track Club is a private, non-profit club and monthly dues are charged. This year we’re trying to make this easier for both you and our treasurer by implementing a single payment registration. The season registration fee includes:
• Registration Fee
• God Speed high quality Dri-Fit type uniform top and running shorts and cotton practice t-shirt
• Mandatory USATF Membership Card
• Monthly Dues
• Entry fees for all regular season meets **
** should your athlete participate in the State, Regional and National competition the entry fees must be paid by you prior to the meet. More information regarding this will be available throughout the season.

Cost Per Athlete Season Registration Fee
1 Athlete (per family) 225.00
2 Athletes (per family) 375.00
3 Athletes (per Family) 550.00
4 or more Athletes 675.00
*** Family income hardship discounts/scholarship are available. Contact Mark for more information.

Note: $25.00 will be credited if you bring a current USATF membership card to registration. An additional $30.00 will be credited to returning athletes with current ATC uniform. ATC will register all athletes with the USATF and provide membership cards.

Our goal is to have every athlete that wants to compete be able to compete. If you need alternate payment arrangements please contact Mark Crear. God Speed also have a limited number of sponsorships available.

Although we require fees to be paid, those fees are absorbed mostly by payments to USA Track & Field for membership, insurance, meet entry, and equipment. The mandatory payment listed is a flat fee which is due and payable at registration. Competing youth, high School, and adult athletes joining in or after May will have fees reduced 50%. The fees will not be prorated based on the number of meets you plan on competing in. There is no prorate or reduction to fees where the athlete pays their own meet entry fees.

Once training and competitions begin there will be absolutely no refunds for any reason. Entire fee must be paid in full by January 31st or before competing in the 1st competition. Entry fees for track meets not paid for by the club are paid by the athlete and must be turned in prior to meet deadlines before athlete entries will be completed.

Uniform Rule
Uniform rental is $15. A deposit of $50 is required at registration and is held until the uniform is returned at the end of the year in re-useable condition. Non-reuseable / damaged uniforms will be charged $20. Return options. 1. Return uniform and receive credit towards next year uniform deposit. 2. Return uniform to receive deposit cash refund. Uniforms must be turned in within 4 weeks after the last track meet of the year or at the athletes year end party to receive refund or credit. If the uniform is not returned, the deposit will be forfeited. This rule only applies to the standard uniform. Adults, Custom and special order uniforms are the responsibility of the athlete.
