Welcome! We are a CYO track program for all 2nd through 8th grade athletes in the Pleasant Hill / Martinez / Walnut Creek area. No church affiliation is necessary. We compete in the Diablo Valley Catholic League, which is Section 1 of the Oakland Diocese. Our team is sponsored by the Christ the King, St. Catherine, and St. Stephen parishes. Elementary and middle-school athletes living within the boundaries of the three parishes are eligible to participate on our team as are students (including religious education students) at any of the parish schools. Use this Oakland Diocese parish finder tool if you are not sure what parish you are in.
Our practice season typically begins in February, and meets take place on Saturdays from March through early May. Signups are typically held in January.
Volunteering: Our team is 100% volunteer-run and every family is required to contribute a certain number of hours to make the program work. This requirement can be met by volunteering at the Saturday meets, coaching, or serving as one of team's coordinators. There is a $250 volunteer deposit per family that is returned/shredded if obligations are met.
Practices: Mondays and Wednesdays at College Park High School. Practices start at 5:30pm, and go until 7:00pm. In the first few weeks, practice may end sooner due to initial lower volume in the workouts.
Meet Events: Meets are on Saturdays and start at 9am and last until all the events are run. This can be variable, but are generally done by 1pm. Having enough volunteers is crucial to the efficient progress of a meet. A typical meet includes the following events:
Individual running events:
- 50m dash (5th grade and under only)
- 100m dash
- 200m
- 400m
- 800m
- 1600m
Relays:
- 4x100m
- 4x400m
- "Sprint Medley" (100m, 100m, 200m, 400m)
