Volunteer Policy

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.
