at Brentwood (location TBD), As a parent, am I required to volunteer? The success of the track meets depends on good turnout by parent volunteers. As a parent you will be required to work at least three meets (per child participating) by assisting in field events, sheparding track athletes to running events, ribbon writing, or serving as a timer. What is the registration fee and what does it cover? The registration fee (per child) for 2009 is $125 for parishioners and $135 for non-parishioners. The fee covers use permits fees for use of the various high school tracks, team insurance, team uniform/t-shirt (t-shirt and shorts, child keeps, and use of running jersey for the season), team equipment and participation fee to Diablo Valley Section. Do I need to buy special track shoes for my child? You are not required to buy special track shoes for your child. A good quality pair of running shoes will do. However, if your child is in 5th grade or above will be running relay races, sprints, and/or participating in the long or high jump, track shoes with spikes are recommended. Track shoes with spikes are not recommended for those athletes running the 800 M or above. The league requires a special type of spike that won't damage the tracks and we will provide those types of spikes to the athletes who need them at the first practice meet. You can buy track shoes at any sporting goods store. A store that
specializes in track and field shoes/clothing and will give CYO track
athletes a 10% discount on shoes if you purchase with cash, check or ATM is Athletic
Outpost. They also have given good service and advice in the past. They
