CITY TRACK CLUB
INFORMATION SHEET
The City Track Club was established in the spring of 1996 by a group of dedicated parents and coaches to promote and provides age-group training and competition in track and field for youths residing in the Bay Area. The Club offers quality coaching and instruction, daily workouts; and with the support and cooperation of parents, supervised travel to local, regional and national competitions.
Expenses are principally met through charitable contributions given by many individuals and through some corporate and foundation funding. Parent-generated funding are from fundraising activities and from the annual fundraising campaign which contributes to our budget. Parents support helps us keep the club dues at the $125.00 level (plus uniform fees), which represent only a small fraction of the Club's cost per athlete.
The Club's Goals
The Club is founded on the premise that sports training and competition contribute to the significance of personal growth during childhood and adolescence, and that dedication to athletics provide a foundation for future achievements.
Our aim is that the City Track members will set goals for themselves, work hard to improve, take pride in their accomplishments, cheer the triumphs of others, be dedicated to excellence, and especially have fun.
Athlete's Obligations
The Club seeks members who are eager to train and compete. Members are expected to be dedicated to doing their best to adhere to the Club's Code of Conduct and attend practice at least twice a week.
Parent's Obligations
The attitude the Club asks from parents is "What can I contribute?" Parents are expected to participate in the Club's fund-raising campaign, activities and to offer assistance on an administrative committee. Our goal is that each member will generate a minimum of $100. Parents are expected to support the Club's program by insuring each athlete's regular attendance at practices and meets.
USA Track & Field Affiliation
The Club is a member of the Pacific Association of USA Track & Field, the governing body for the sport of track and field in the U.S. The Pacific and Central Valley Association make up Region 14 of the USATF. The Club participates in the USATF-sanctioned meets and practices and thus requires its members to join USATF for a fee of $20.00. USATF membership includes primary and/or secondary insurance coverage for athletes during Club practices, traveling to and from USATF meets and while competing in a USATF meet.
