Donation

Your donation of $375 per athlete supports the Track & Field program. All donations go directly to pay for coaches, equipment, entry fees, uniform top…everything it takes to run, and to have, a track season. Without your financial support, the program would not be able to function. Donations can be made by credit card online or at the Parent Meeting by cash, check or credit card. DONATE

No athlete will be turned away if they are unable to make a donation.

* Note: State law requires us to provide a public education free of charge & the California Dept of Education has concluded that this law prohibits schools from requiring parents of students to work at fundraising events and activities, including being a booster member or volunteer coach, as a condition of allowing their child(ren) to participate in an educational activity.

Uniform

Uniform Tops
All jerseys will be loaned this year and must be returned in the same condition they were checked out. Returning athletes with a jersey from the past 3 years may use that one instead of borrowing one. Returning athletes, please consider donating previous years' outgrown jerseys for reuse. Please bring donated jerseys to the parent/athlete meeting 12/4.

Uniform Bottoms
Athletes will provide their own bottoms. They may be purchased at the parent meeting, or provide their own. All bottoms must be solid black -- no stripes or large Brand Logo (e.g. Nike or Nike Swoosh, Adidas or Adidas Stripes, etc.). If bottoms are purchased individually, they must be submitted prior to the season to have the NP Track & Field logo screen printed on them ($5 donation).
