Invitational Meet

This weekend’s meet is slightly different than past meets.  This is a 2-day championship-style meet where we run against all of the other clubs in the Valley Youth Conference.  The meet will take place on Saturday, April 1st and Sunday, April 2nd at Simi Valley High School.

If you know that your child is unable to attend any or all of this meet, please let me know by Wednesday.  By Thursday, we should know what your child is participating in.

The cost for each child is $10, which needs to be paid by Friday.  On Saturday, event bibs will be handed out to each athlete which they will need for both days.

Medals

At this meet, all athletes placing from 1-9 will receive a medal and recognition on the awards podium.

Volunteer [SIGN UP HERE]

We need the following volunteer support for this meet.  Please help out if you can, otherwise as a club we are fined $100 for each area where we fail to contribute.

Each volunteer will receive a badge to allow them to be on the field during their assigned task.

Tents

Due to space limitations, as a club we are only allowed 2 team tents total in the stands on the top row only; one on the south side stands and one on the north side stands.

Please know that this is the only time we will get the opportunity to run against all of the clubs in the conference.  We would like a great turnout to showcase the hard work we have been putting in all season.  

I know this information can seem overwhelming so please feel free to ask me any questions. 

Best,
