T-Shirts

All participants will need to have a school Junior Olympics t-shirt. Fourth graders will receive a complimentary JO shirt. Please make sure to keep your shirt as they will use it again in the fifth and sixth grade (consider ordering a larger size than usual as the shirts run small and you will use them in upcoming years). Additional shirts are $15 each. The default size is Adult Small.

Great Community Event

School communities come out for Junior Olympics! The kids have fun marching with their school in opening ceremonies, cheering for their classmates during events, and doing their best after 7 weeks of training. Every 4th, 5th, and 6th grader is encouraged to participate.
