********************

 

 

Our Track & Field season typically runs from March through July and our Cross Country season typically runs from September through the first week in December.  The registration/information meeting typically occurs during the first practice of the season.  The Central Florida Gliders Track & Field and Cross Country programs are for boys and girls aged 8 and older, no matter the experience or fitness levels.  Exceptions may be made for younger siblings.

Registration Steps

 

1. Complete and submit the Online CF Gliders Club registration form at or before your first practice;

2. Submit a copy of birth certificate within one week of your first practice (fax, mail or hand deliver at practice);

3. Pay the $50 club registration fee within one week of your first practice (pay online, mail or hand deliver at practice);

4. Pay the $60 uniform fee (if needed) within one week of your first practice (pay online, mail or hand deliver at practice);  Athlete and parents Gliders T-shirts are also available for $10-$12.

5. Purchase an AAU and/or USATF athlete membership when directed by the coach. AAU Individual Membership Card ($12; valid Sept 1 - Aug 31). USATF Individual Membership Card ($20; valid calendar year)

 

Club registration form, copy of birth certificate and payments must be submitted within one week of your first practice.  Please check with a coach if you need an extended payment arrangement. Please make checks payable to the Central Florida Gliders and indicate the athlete and what the payment is for.

 

********************

A registration fee of $50.00 per season is required for each athlete.  For families with more than two youth athletes, the registration fee is only required for the first two family members.  The registration fee for returning high school students is only $15 (first registration is $50). This fee is used to cover the cost of club operations such as postage, stationary and general expenses.

 

The club uniform is only required for those athletes that plan to compete. Many athletes, simply train for health and fitness purposes. The uniform fee is $60.00 and the same uniform is used for cross country and track & field.  

 

The Central Florida Gliders organization is registered with both Junior Olympic groups (USA Track & Field (USATF) and USA Amateur Athletic Union (AAU)) and desires its athletes to be members also. Individual athlete memberships are required for athletes to participate in many AAU and USATF competitions.   Please wait until after the Gliders registration/information meeting before registering your child with with these groups, as our meet schedule will determine if you need one or both memberships.

 

Once the AAU and/or USATF decision has been made, please register your child online at www.aauathletics.org (look for the "Join Now" logo) and www.usatf.org, print out the membership card and provide us with a copy. Make sure you use the Glider's AAU and USATF team numbers on our home page when your register.  Note:  You can save $5 on USATF membership by visiting the Florida USATF website

 

 

In addition to the club fees, many of the competitions charge entry fees and spectator admission fees. Other expenses may include competition outside of the Orlando area that requires travel and lodging expenses. The Gliders host a number of fund-raising events and conduct many efforts to raise funds; however, the proceeds from these activities fall short in meeting the needs of all of the athletes in the club.
 

 

Note:  An athlete will not be allowed to practice until their registration/liability waiver form has been submitted online or turned in.  If an athlete brings a friend to practice, the friend must have a completed registration form too. 

 

Registration documents are shredded each calendar year.  New documents are needed each year.

Register now for the Fall cross country season.
