Spring
Track Season begins March 1, 2010
Diablo
Valley Track and Field Club (DVTFC) is a USA Track & Field
sanctioned Youth track club serving the Lamorinda, Pleasant Hill,
Walnut Creek, and Danville area for over 35 years. DVTFC
is open to girls and boys age 9 (born 2001) to 15 (born 1995) who
love to run, jump and throw. (More
information about DVTFC and our program is found in the General
Information section of this web site.)
For
2010, DVTFC is implementing the same 'Trial Period' and 'Regular
Season' registration and participation procedures used last year.
DVTFC's
coaching and parent volunteer staffs have struggled to keep up with
the volume of enthusiastic newcomers to the sport of track &
field. As a result, we've
made a few changes in order to better balance the supply and
demand of quality coaching resources and ensure all club members
have a positive experience. Total DVTFC membership will be
limited to 60 athletes, so register by February 19 to ensure a slot.
Trial
Period
We
hold a two-week 'trial period' during the weeks of March 1 and March
8. This trial period is
mostly for the benefit of athletes and their families who want to
better understand what they are getting into before making a
commitment for the entire season.
Additionally, our coaching staff may choose to decline
admission to athletes who don’t bring the proper work ethic or
attitude to the track. Membership in the club is NOT dependent
upon one's track & field skills, experience or ability - but an
interest in running, jumping and/or throwing and a desire to work
hard and improve.
The Trial Period is as follows:
-
Mon
3/1, Wed 3/3, Thurs 3/4 (must attend two days)
-
Mon
3/8, Wed 3/9, Thurs 3/10 (must attend two days)
-
Pleasant Hill
Middle School
track –
4:45 to 6:00 p.m.
-
$60
fee (includes $20 USATF membership – mandatory for insurance
purposes)

(except for spring break week) and at least 3 track meets.
Parents are required to volunteer at 1 (of 2) Saturday
morning 'mini-meets' which will be held in March and April. (More
info about track meets can be found in the Meets
section of this web site).
