VENUE: DATE:
Welcome to the Pacific Association USATF
Junior Olympic Championship Track and Field Meet
The Junior Olympic
Championships track meet is being handled online via email. This year we are trying out Charlie
Sheppard’s new Club Manager computer program. It was explained in detail earlier this year
and also in the PAC Championship information packet. Your entries will be emailed to Anthony
Camargo at [email protected] when
you have completely entered all necessary information into your Club Manager computer program.
Since there is some pre-meet entry preparation needed prior to your
entering athletes into the track meet, it is essential that you contact Joanne
Slaton-Camargo immediately if you still need a copy of the Club Manager
program. It will be sent to you promptly
via email. [email protected] You may
hate me now but you will thank me later.
We have already gotten rave reviews from those coaches who are already
using the program.
Please check the PAUSATF website for your teams’ 4-digit code. Click
on the “Youth” section under “Club Manager”. Your 4-digit code is located
there. Example: 3M Track Club = 3MTC;
You must start inputting
your athletes as soon as possible to avoid last minute headaches for
yourself. Instructional documentation is
included with the program to get you started.
Also included will be contact information for Charlie Sheppard. He will be available to answer any questions
or concerns regarding the installation and use of the Club Manager
program. Remember, all entries to our JO
Championships MUST be submitted to Anthony no later than
Make sure your athlete’s
birth certificate is on file with Tony Williams (Membership Chairperson). If they attended the Junior Olympics in 2005
or will attend the PAC Championship meet this year on June 10-11, Tony will
most likely have your athlete’s birth certificates on file and you will not
need to submit another one. To verify this information check the PAUSATF.ORG website or email
him at [email protected].
After the verification process has been
completed with Tony Williams and copies of birth certificates are deemed
necessary, please contact Tony to see how he wants to handle the receipt of
those birth certificates.
