Parent volunteers are crucial to the smooth operation of the SDA Track & Field program, which is the largest of all SDA teams!
The SDA Track & Field team is in urgent need for Lead Parent Volunteers for the 2026 season and beyond. Detailed descriptions can be found here or email the Team Parent to learn more or if you are interested at sdatrackteamparent@gmail.com.
• Lead Parent Liaison – ideal for Sophomore or Junior Parents, oversees all aspects of being the Team Parent, main point of contact between the parents, coaches and Foundation, attends monthly Athletic Council meetings, sets annual budget, sends weekly parent emails/communications, manages team webpage, manages all other event volunteers
• Events Lead – coordinates and executes all team events – home meet volunteers, photo day, senior night, banquet, Mustang Stampede & BBQ
• Uniform and Spirit Wear Lead – manages the distribution and return of the uniforms, works with the XC Parent Liaison on new uniforms, creates and manages the team spirit wear store
• Fundraising & Social Media Lead – contacts local restaurants/businesses to set up fundraising nights and promotes all teams events on social media
We also have opportunities for volunteers at each individual event. Sign up lists will be available once the season begins.
Volunteers for Home Meets are needed for the 2026 Track & Field Season.
We need parent volunteers for the following home meets. Sign up here (Volunteer SUG to be posted in Jan/Feb) to volunteer at the SDA home meets.
Clerks of the Course
Two clerks will check in athletes throughout the meet. The clerks will have a meet program listing the athlete’s name and “lane” number for each event. The clerks mark that the athlete has “checked in” and provide the athlete with a number to be placed on the left hip.
Field Events
Field events give volunteers a good view and see athletes perform up close. We will need at least eight volunteers — one volunteer for each event — for high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump, shot put and discus. There will be at least one coach present at each event.
Block Crew
One volunteer is needed to move the starting blocks to the various start lines throughout the meet. They will help take the blocks off the track as needed. This is a great position for those who have a son or daughter in a running event.
Sign up (Volunteer SUG to be posted in Jan/Feb) to volunteer at the X SDA Home Meets.
Sign up (Volunteer SUG to be posted in Jan/Feb) now to bring water and/or snacks to all meets and invites.
We ask all volunteers to be at the track at least 15 minutes before the start time of the meet.
