The fee structure is based upon the three track & field seasons. A base membership is required for all Lincoln Jet club members. Club rules that ONE practice can be a trial but at least a club base membership must be purchased to return.

Club membership is $40.00 - Club membership includes practices for all three track seasons. ( April - July ) No other club memberships are required during the season. This club membership helps pay for club expenses, team sanction fees, liability insurance, website hosting, weekly treats, awards, picnics, help frey coaches expenses. As a club member you will be allowed to participate in the annuals Jets Spring Launch Invitational to be held Saturday, May 3rd. ($12.00-$16.00 Savings) $10.00 Discount for the second child.

USATF membership is $20.00 - 2008 USATF membership card (required by USATF to participate in either practices at East High and compete in USATF sanctioned meets. USATF cards available online at the national USATF site but, as an individual it will cost $20.00 plus the process of getting a USATF password. If you purchase on your own then proof would be required to practice with the Jets.

Uniform is required - First year Jet athletes will be required to buy a uniform to participate in the Jets Invitational or any other sanctioned USATF meet. If you already own a uniform then no purchase is necessary. You may trade or sell your old uniform to new Jets. New Jet Uniforms are $35.00. Jets that already have a uniform may purchase a new uniform for $35.00

Club Track Entry Packages - We are still searching for the best and fairest way to purchase entries to each track meet. We as Jets do not want to handle money each and every track meet. We've been burned in the past. (Example: Child signs up for meet, doesn't attend and doesn't pay. However, the Jets have sent in money for them to participate.) Buying entries by the meet is not fair to those that only do one or two events. So, for the four year we are changing the Club Track Entry packages. You will have only three opportunities for buy entry packages and you may purchase them by event. No refunds will be given. This will keep the maintenance down, allow for planning time, allow to save up and purchase what you might use. The Entry packages are $4.00 per event for club track meets and $6.00 for championship meets (State). Regional and National competitions are on your own at the meet. These are the exact cost to our club per event for your athlete. We make nothing as a club and your registered in the meet. (very easy). Sign-ups are due Monday before a weekend track meet. The club will send in entries on time. Any late fees or entries are the responsilibity of the athlete or parents. Lincoln Jets do not pay for any late fees unless it is our error. State JO Multi-Events are $20.00 for Bantams, $25.00 for Midgets and Youth and $30.00 for Intermediate and Young Men(Women). Because we have 12-14 meets each year the cost can vary per family or individual. Cornhusker Games is entered and paid on your own.

Deadline Date 1 - March 30 or Prior

Deadline Date 2 - April 23-April 27

Deadline Date 3 - May 24-June 1

Bantams are allowed to participate in 3 events per meet and the Midgets and above are allowed to participate in 4 events per meet. Figure number of events times number of meets and that is your cost.

EXAMPLES: 3 Meets @ 3 Events Per Meet * $4.00 per event is $36.00

8 Meets @ 4 Events Per Meet * $4.00 per event is $128.00

State 1 Meet @ 3 Events * $6.00 per event is $18.00

State Multii's 1 Meet Bantam * $20.00 is $20.00

Championship Season - This season can be expensive with airline travel, car travel, motels, etc. All expenses are paid by the athlete including meet entry fees. These meets include Age Group Nationals at Charlotte, N.C., J.O. Olympic Regional at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, J.O. Nationals at Omaha, Nebraska and Cornhusker Games at Nebraska Wesleyan. Fees usually will run $5.00-$7.00 per event. Planning ahead will save you money. All corporate sponsorships or donations will be made to the championship fundraising drive. The money will be divided by participants going to J.O. Nationals. Some clubs will charter a bus to attend regionals. We are looking for a committee chairman in the fundraising, trip planning area of our club. Remember we have no limits on the amount of fundraising funds you can generate.

REMEMBER VALUE BOOK SELLS CAN AND WILL PAY FOR ANY CHILD TO PARTICIPATE.   You can easily make $8.00 to $12.00 per book. Allows the less fortunate to get out and earn their own way. Great experience.
