Parents Corner
In order to allow our coaches to fully focus their time and efforts with the athletes during practices, Velocity Track Club President Dana Frese will be serving in the role as Club Administrator. Mr. Frese will hold parent meetings at various practices to provide updates throughout the season in regards to meet registration fees, schedule changes, etc. and to answer general questions that any parents have. If you would like something specific discussed, please feel free to email your questions ahead of time to velocitytrackclub@yahoo.com.
Most track meets require advance registration through the CoachO System. Whenever possible, Velocity Track Club will be registering all athletes as a team. Anna Beckett, VTC board member, will be handling registration for meets. If your athlete would like to attend a meet that the team will not be attending, please feel free to let Ms. Beckett know, she would be happy to assist you with the registration process.
Meet Preparation
* It is the parents responsibility to get their athlete to any and all meets.
* Parents are also responsible for their athlete's lodging, meals, registration and food/drink for all out of town meets.
* Coach Nickoley will determine the athletes' events for the meet depending upon their skill level, their success at practice, etc. If you have questions about what your athlete will be competing in for the week check with the Club Administrator.
* It is important that your athlete arrive on time to properly warm up for his/her event.
* Meets generally begin at 8:00 a.m. and last all day. Some may require quite the drive. Due to a variety of issues we cannot determine what time your athlete will compete. Your athlete should plan to arrive well before his/her event starts and stay for the day. Other team members appreciate you staying to cheer them on!
* Club Tent and Flag - Our club will have a tent set up for the benefit of our athletes at each meet. Some families choose to bring additional tents for themselves and their families. If at all possible, we would ask that VTC athletes locate as close to the club tent as possible. Look for the VTC flag to locate the team tent.
* Some meets will have entry fees for families wishing to watch their athlete compete. Please come to the meets prepared for this.
Things To Bring To Meets
* Uniform
* Warm Up Suit
* Running Shoes
* Spikes

* Umbrella (good for rain or sun)
* Rain gear (poncho, dry socks)
