Come and run a mile or two,
Develop friendships old and new,
Set some goals and see them through,
We'll work hard and have fun too!
The Arlington Diocese is planning to host a Spring 2022 NVJCYO Track & Field Championship meet on May 14th and Father Tom has provided his blessings for our St. Joseph's Parish team to participate in the spring season. We hope that your young athletes will join us in some healthy practices and competitions as your family's schedules allow.
Who can participate? St. Joseph’s 3rd-8th grade students or parishioners (SJS, CCD or home school).
How much does it cost?:
- $30 for an individual plus $20 for each additional sibling covers practice and meet fees, drinks, and an end of season party
- Team shirts will be purchased separately for approx. $15 if you do not already have one
- Families with athletes who choose to compete in the Arlington Diocese Meets will also be asked to volunteer some time to help manage events
Why should we join?
-
Be part of our team! As a combination of individual and team events, the Track & Field program offers an opportunity for each person to be part of a group that encourages each other to improve in running, jumping, and throwing. Individual events are offered across several age groups and levels of skill and motivation. The more each athlete wants to train, the faster he or she will improve his/her abilities. Several members join to train to compete in the meet while others join for the great cross-training this offers for other sports. We can all improve individually and as a team!
-
Flexible schedules: Teammates and families are encouraged to join as many practices and the meet as family schedules allow; but, there are no minimum time commitments.
-
Low-cost family fun: $30 per individual plus $20 for additional siblings provides access to multiple practices/meets per week from mid-March to mid-May… Parents are also encouraged to join in the running, jumping and throwing with our student athletes (or to help manage event training, keep scores, etc.) .
How do we join?: email sj.xctrack@gmail.com for registration details and to be added to our team email list
Thank you from your SJS Track & Field Coaching team!

Child Protection Program Compliant |
|
As the possibility of adults being able to volunteer at St. Joseph Catholic School, this is a reminder that adults must be compliant in the Child Protection Program to do so. The program is two parts: an online background check which can be completed at arlingtondiocese.org. Choose Protecting our Children and then follow the instructions to complete your application. The second part is attendance at a Virtus seminar. These seminars can be found at virtus.org. If you have any questions about completing the program, please feel free to contact Beth Covert at bcovert@sjcherndon.org, or (703)880-4357.
