Read each club membership plan below carefully to see what all they each entail and the price for each. Please note that Non-Competition simply means that entry fees to meets and competitions are not included in the price of that membership plan, but athletes are still free to go to competitions if they (and their parents) so choose. If you would like to pay by cash, check, or other forms of payment, those options are listed below the various membership plans.


Upon completion of payment for your elected membership plan, please fill out the attached Google Form at the bottom of this page so Coach Ben can register the athlete for their USATF and AAU memberships. These memberships are required for insurance coverage as well as being able to register for meets.


Post-Collegiate Athletes and Adults, please inquire with Coach Ben at risingphoenixtc@gmail.com about memberships and schedules.


Youth Memberships have a limited capacity and are limited to the first 12 athletes registered.

Summer Track Scheduling

Practices and meets for the summer track season will run through June, July, and part of August.

JOIN THE RPTC REMIND GROUP: Text @rptc2022 to the number 81010

Each weekend in the summer, Coach Ben will send out a Google Form with available practice times for specific events and specific coaches for the upcoming week. You will be responsible for scheduling your own practice times using this Google Form by selecting all the days/times you will be able to attend for that upcoming week. If you schedule yourself for practicing certain events at certain times, you will be expected to be there at those times and on those days.

The summer meet schedule (attached) is evolving as we find more meets to attend. You can view the most up-to-date meet schedule for the summer on the Rising Phoenix Track Club team page at https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/School.aspx?SchoolID=70343

We may also add our own intra-squad or all-comer meets to the schedule in July since meet options (as of right now) seem to be fairly limited.

Whether you compete in the summer or just get out to practice and get better for next year is completely up to you!

Story of the Phoenix

There is a bird that lays no eggs and has no young. It was here when the world began and is still living today, in a hidden, faraway desert spot. It is the phoenix, the bird of fire.

One day in the beginning times, the sun looked down and saw a large bird with shimmering feathers. They were red and gold–bright and dazzling like the sun itself. The sun called out, “Glorious Phoenix, you shall be my bird and live forever!”

Live forever! The Phoenix was overjoyed to hear these words. It lifted its head and sang, “Sun glorious sun, I shall sing my songs for you alone!”
