It is best to try things out for a week or 2 to see if your kids (and you) want to commit for a full season. Once your payments go through to the VLAA and the Knox centre it gets impossible to give refunds for their components as they dont give them to us.
Fees for 2008/9 :
VLAA child levy |
$40 |
Knox Centre child levy |
$40 |
Knox Centre family levy |
$15 |
Scoresby Striders |
The fee varies for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc... child |
Total |
$120 for the first child in each family, $100 for the 2nd & $90 for 3rd, 4th, etc |
This fee also includes our most excellent hand engraved bronze (for 10 PB's), silver (for 20 PB's) & gold (for 30 PB's) medals for reaching the club personal best targets.
Club short sleeve competition shirts are $25 each (partly sponsored by the club & sponsors) and not included in the above fees. Shirts generally last several years. You will also need to provide your own black shorts. Shorts must be plain black with no logos or coloured stitching. They are available from the centre clothing store for $12.50 for the 2008/9 season.
If competing for Knox in region, state or other centre's various events you need to buy the Knox Centre black and yellow competition T-Shirt for $22 so that when other centre's are watching you disappear into the distance they know who they are being beaten by.
All you need to start is your uniform and a pair of runners. Athletes from U12 and up can use spikes. See here for spike buying advice - young athletes should buy spikes with heels ...
Specialist equipment is sometimes recommended (like spikes for the older kids) but go easy in your first year as it often takes a year of competition to learn the varying skills required to compete well in all the events. More technical events like the throws and jumps will certainly take a while to get right. Discounts are available at various stores and specialist suppliers if you ask around. You will find that most sports stores don't actually sell shot puts, discuses, javelins, hammers, etc. nor specialist footwear (throws shoes for example). Speak to any of the specialist coaches or Mike Donato for expert advice before you go and buy anything.
Discounts are available if you join from February or only compete in the winter season to do cross country. Ask our committee for further details.
All prices are inclusive of 10% GST.
