Mini-meets

 

 

2012 Practice/Mini Meets

Each year, our club holds mini-meets early in the season to familiarize our athletes with how a track meet is conducted.  It is also a good opportunity to establish baseline times and distances for improving personal records during the season.  

In 2012, mini-meets are tentatively scheduled to held March 24 (2pm - 5pm), April 14 (2pm - 5pm) at Acalanes High School. (a third date will be added at Castro Valley HS (Time TBA).  There are usually one or two other USATF teams from the Bay Area invited to participate.

The atmosphere of the mini-meets is instructional and informal, however, there will be an official starter, timing/measuring, age-group placing and ribbons awarded.  DVTFC parents volunteer to perform essential tasks such as lane timing, measuring throws, raking the long-jump pit, and recording times and places.  Parents are required to work at least one mini-meet during the season and will be charged $50 if they choose not to volunteer.
