* * VAA TRACK IS RUN BY VOLUNTEERS! * *

We have a successful track record due to our parent volunteers. As our numbers grow, so does our need for volunteers. Whether you can give your time for the entire season or for a meet or two, we need you!

Parents are expected to participate at track meets as picker, ribbons writer, starter or other roles assigned by your coach. Please contact a commissioner if you want to volunteer in an additional capacity.

Attention STUDENT Meet Workers:

If you are 12-18 years old and are interested in being a student meet worker, please send an email to communitytrack@vaasports.org with your name, email address and phone number by January 27, 2012.
