Athletes must run with a watch so they know how long they are running each day and can track their progress over the season.  Watches will be required during the season so kids can time their own groups for intervals/fartleks etc.  You don't need anything too fancy, just as long as it has a stopwatch feature it's fine. GPS is great but not necessary.  Please note, running with the timer on your phone is ok for easy runs but not good for workouts during the season as it is bulky and affects your running form (also you may drop it and it will end up looking like mine).

A quick Amazon search came up with these possibilities but anything is fine:

Casio sport watch $13.97
Timex Marathon women's watch $18.36
Timex Marathon Men's watch $18.36
Women's Timex Ironman watch with Interval Timer $40
Men's Timex Ironman with Interval Timer $40

Best GPS watches are anything in the Garmin Forerunner series:
Garmin Forerunner 15 $65
Garmin Forerunner 25 $95
