Mini-meets

 

 

2010 USATF Youth Meets

For 2010, 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.  

2010 Regular Season Schedule

MINI-MEETS (TENTATIVE)

Saturday, March 27   2pm - 5pm  at Acalanes High School

Saturday, April 10      9am - 11am at Castro Valley High School (19400 Santa Maria Avenue, Castro Valley, CA 94546)

Saturday, April 24     2pm - 5pm at Acalanes High School

 

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. 

The tentative Sectional / Invitational meets are:

     
May 1-2 UMOJA Track Club Invitational
Santa Clara HS, Santa Clara CA
May 15-16 3M Track Club Invitational James Logan HS, Union City CA

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 16) may compete in larger sectional and invitational meets in May/June as well as the USATF Pacific Association Championships in mid-June.  They can also compete in a series of local and regional qualifying meets for the National Junior Olympics, to be held this year in Sacramento the end of July.  

There will be an additional fee for participating in the Championship Season.
