Members
Athletes and Parents
All athletes and parents should review the Cowichan Valley Track and Field Handbook. The handbook will answer many questions for both new and returning athletes. It also provides parents with a better understanding of how the club operates and what can be expected of each member.
Volunteers
Club Volunteers
The success of our club is based on the active participation of our members. Parents/guardians are needed to help set up and put away equipment at practices as well as volunteer a little of their time officiating (high jump) at track meets, if in attendance. Parent participation is required to help the club offer a full scope of events at each practice.
Volunteer expectations are set out in the attached volunteer reference document (Coming Soon).
High Jump Volunteers
Our track club is responsible for officiating the high jump event at every island track meet. Each season, a short, high jumping clinic is offered for all parents. Every family is expected to participate in officiating the high jumping event at every meet that they attend. This will only require an hour or two for the full weekend. There are seven Vancouver Island series track meets.
Garriock Meet Volunteers
The Cowichan Track and Field Club is responsible for hosting the Garriock Track Meet each year in early June. This is particularly fun for all family members as we all join together to make this a success. Kids and parents together volunteer, and compete, and we are known to have one of the best track meets on the island.
Clothing
Clothing
Clothing information can be found in our Club’s handbook. For practices, athletes should come dressed in athletic clothing and proper running shoes. Track spikes are often used by competitive athletes at track meets but are not required.
2025 Clothing Store
The 2025 clothing store is now closed!
For those athletes that require a competition singlet for 2025, please advise one of the coaches at practice.
