The Newbury Park Track Club is run entirely by volunteers. In order to ensure that meets run safely and efficiently, and to give all parents the opportunity to support their athletes and enjoy some time during each meet as spectators, we divide the workload among all participating families. Each NPTC family is required to sign up for a minimum of three volunteer shifts each season or serve in a full season volunteer assignment.
One $200.00 volunteer deposit will be required per family. The deposit must be provided in the form of a check payable to NPTC and must be received at Parent Information Night or provided to a coach or board member in advance of the first practice. Athletes will not be permitted to participate in practices or meets prior to receipt of the volunteer deposit check. Families that meet or exceed the minimum volunteer commitment will have the deposit shredded or returned at the end of the season. If volunteer responsibilities are not met, your check will be deposited. By completing your child’s registration you are agreeing to our volunteer policy. Information on how to sign up for volunteer shifts will be forthcoming. Volunteer positions will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please note: The Dual Conference Meet, Varsity Meet, and Championship Meet will be handled independently of the regular season requirement. Families with an athlete participating in these meets will be required to volunteer; failure to complete this requirement will result in the forfeiture of the volunteer deposit. Sign-ups for volunteer positions at these meets will be handled separately.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Elise Baumann, NPTC Volunteer Coordinator: volunteer.nptc@gmail.com.
In order to ensure safety and a positive experience for all, parents, athletes & volunteers must adhere to the following:
In addition, parents and other adults are required to adhere to the following:
Setting a good example for the athletes involved in our program is much more important than the outcome of any of the races and field events conducted during the season. Parents should approach our program with the attitude that it is conducted by unpaid volunteers for the benefit of all the kids including theirs. Newbury Park Track Club follows conduct guidelines set forth by our governing Conference (VCYTC), and that VCYTC’s rules of conduct for competition apply in any and all Newbury Park Track Club sponsored functions.
Those not adhering to the rules will be warned by the NPTC staff. In the case of athlete misbehavior, the coach and/or the NPTC Board President will attempt to discuss the matter with the athlete’s parents. To ensure the safety of the other athletes, any violation of the rules above could result in suspension and/or expulsion from the NPTC program. In such a case, no refunds will be issued.
