The USA Track and Field is a governing body of track and field in the US. For kids to compete in many of the races, they must have a USATF card. The card is $15.00 and proves the childs age. When you sign up for this card, and many times there will be a USATF representative at the races, you will need a birth certificate, Santa Cruz Track Club #0137, and know that we are located in the Pacific Region in CA. Here is a link that takes you directly to the form you would need to fill out and send in.
When going to track meets to the north of us, we will arrange a time and meet at the Pasatiempo exit on highway 17.
When going to track meets to the south, we will arrange a time and meet at the Soquel High School lower parking lot.
If your athlete needs a ride to and from practice or a track meet, please let Eileen know and a e-mail notice for help will be sent.
