DVTFC: Meets

For 2012, DVTFC will hold two 'mini-meets' in March and April, which are club-sponsored practice meets with other youth clubs, and also participate as a team in 2 other sectional / invitational meets in April and May.

Another 'away' meet will likely be scheduled at Castro Valley HS either the weekend of March 31 or April 7. More info forthcoming as it become available.

SECTIONAL AND INVITATIONAL MEETS

Most meets are held at high school stadiums on Saturdays. There are usually hundreds of athletes participating in these meets, creating an atmosphere of excitement for our athletes - as well as an organizational challenge for the coaches and parents.

Athletes must register in advance via e-mail to our club manager (info@dvtfc.org) usually 2 weeks before the date of the meet. E-mail reminders will be sent to all club members about upcoming Sectional / Invitational meets. DVTFC pays all meet entry fees.

April 21	Shor / Sheppard Classic	Mt Pleasant HS, San Jose
May 5-6	Hercules Runnning Rebels / Top Pacers Track Club	Contra Costa JC, San Pablo

DVTFC will always have one or two coaches in attendance at each meet. They erect our team tent in the morning, obtain the official registration packet and monitor our athletes’ performances. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from meets, food and supplies for the day, and shepherding athletes to events. (Our coaches will provide as much guidance as possible, but they cannot be responsible for getting each and every athlete to the right place at the right time !)

CHAMPIONSHIP MEETS

Athletes who choose to remain for the championship portion of the season (beyond May 13) may compete in larger sectional and invitational meets in June/July as well as the USATF Pacific Association Championships in mid-June.
