Sanctioned by BC Athletics

AVTC is hosting a Jumps Clinic to be taught by Level 4, Canadian National Team Jumps Coach, Greg Peters for track athletes from ADSS and the AV Track Club.

He will be spending some time on March 28 with coaches and any interested parents (free), and then on Sunday, he will be having sessions for athletes, although AVTC coaches will be helping and learning as well.

We hope to divide the High Jump instruction into an older and younger group to facilitate this event.  Session times and lengths will depend on how many athletes sign up.

The cost will be subsidized by the club funds, but the athletes will be charged a $15 fee for this terrific clinic. (Athletes have an opportunity to participate in TAG days at which time they will be able to recuperate this fee.)

We hope to start in the morning, have a lunch break, and then run the clinic much of the afternoon.

Triple Jump, at the end of the day, is only for ages 12 and over, however younger athletes are welcome to watch.  If the weather cooperates, we will mainly be outdoors, however if it is cold, rainy, stormy and windy, we will do at least some of the instruction indoors.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to watch the sessions so that you can better help and support your child/ren at meets and practices.

Athletes are encouraged to wear layers of clothing, bring water bottles, snacks and lunch. A finalized schedule will be emailed out to the email addresses provided by Saturday, March 28, so please check for it!

PARENT INVOLVEMENT…

The Alberni Valley Track & Field Club, as with any other non-profit society, is only as strong as the members make it. The Club depends on volunteers in for the Bob Dailey Track Meet, coaching, executive positions and fund raising.

HIGH JUMP

AVTC is responsible for running the High Jump Event at all Island Track Meets. Parents, when and where possible, need to volunteer to help out with this club responsibility. Training for high jump officiating is offered at the beginning of each season, and our veteran parents are willing to assist you until you are comfortable helping at the high jump pit.

$100 VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT

We have a policy that requires a $100.00 volunteer commitment deposit from each athlete’s family. A minimum of 10 volunteer hours is required of each member family registered with the club, in order to recoup your $100.00 deposit. Our objective is to have volunteers participating actively in our club – not to collect your $100.00.

We are asking that 5 of your volunteer hours be completed at our annual Bob Dailey Track meet. The Bob Dailey meet requires hundred of hours of volunteer time over a three day period. The remaining 5 hours of volunteer time can be completed in a number of different areas. We require volunteers for assisting coaches at practices, fund raising, high jump officiating, and to be involved with committees, and/or the AVTC executive.

You will be responsible for tracking and recording your own volunteer hours. Once you have completed a volunteer activity, complete slips from the next page and have them signed by the person in charge of the area you assisted in (coach or executive member). Additional volunteer credit forms are available on the AVTC website and in the track room. Turn in your completed, signed slips to the envelope in the track room by the end of June. All hours will be recorded only as submitted by you. Your cheque will be destroyed June 30th IF YOUR VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT HOURS HAVE BEEN MET IN FULL. Otherwise your cheque will be cashed. If your cheque has been inadvertently cashed, you must contact the Club Treasurer.
