FAQ
Who is eligible to participate?
Track & Field is open to boys & girls in grades K-8 who are enrolled at St. John’s Academy/CCD.
What events are included?
Most of the meets have the standard array of running events (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m) as well as relays and shorter “fun runs” for the K-2 group. Field events include javelin, shotput and long jump. Medals are awarded to the top finishers in each event, which we present in a nice post season medal ceremony.
Can my child do St. John’s Track & Field AND spring Volleyball?
Yes! We are aware that some of the athletes also play CYO spring volleyball with us. While we can’t guarantee there will never be an overlap, we will work to schedule each sport’s activities around each other.
When does the season run and when will practices/games be?
The Track & Field season starts in mid-late March and runs into June. Practices will be held during the week at Bergen Catholic, and there are several competitive meets each season held on weekends.
Will we have to travel for meets?
Yes. Meets are held at other schools within the archdiocese. While we encourage everyone to participate in the meets, you may choose which ones you would like to attend.
Important!
Last season was our first Track season in many years. To ensure we could properly manage it and have coverage, we only opened it to grades 3-8.
We received many requests about opening it for K-2 kids as well, which we are glad to do. However, to pull this off we need a volunteer head coach and a solid group of a few assistants.
Practices will be held at Bergen Catholic on Mondays and/or Thursdays from 6:00-7:30pm. There will be a handful of optional meets on the weekends starting in April. No major Track & Field experience is required to coach or assist.
Please specify on your registration form if/how you can help so we can determine if we are able to field a K-2 group. Thank you!
