Track and Field 2023
Students in grades 3-5 are invited to join Arrowhead’s Track Team! Our goal is to introduce students to Track and Field events while providing individual instruction to develop their skills. Teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership are always emphasized.
REGISTRATION
The registration fee for Elementary Sports is $35.00. NSD offers an online credit card payment program called Touchbase. You can access Touchbase at: https://www.nsd.org/schools/enrichment-activities/athletics/elementary-sports. Free and Reduced Lunch program qualifiers pay $0.00 and there will be no processing fee, and they will not be asked for a credit card number. (Contact Food Services at 425.408.7657 with questions regarding the FRL program.) A paper form is only required when paying with check, cash or unable to access the Touchbase system.
Each athlete needs to have an emergency card turned in before they may participate in a meet.
