Starting this season. St. Anne’s CYO is using TeamSnap for team registration and management. We hope that this will make it easier to register and communicate with parents during the season. If you have any questions about registering for Indoor Track, e-mail [email protected].
Eligibility
Indoor track is open to all children ages 5-14 as of February 1, 2025, who either:
- live within St. Anne’s parish
- attend St. Anne’s school
- worship and attend faith formation classes at St. Anne’s Church, or
- live in a parish that does not offer CYO indoor track
Children who compete or train with a high school track team, however, are ineligible to compete in CYO.
Children train and compete on teams based not on their grade, but on their age as of February 1, 2025:
- Pee-Wees (ages 5-6)
- Novices (ages 7-8)
- Bantams (ages 9-10)
- Juniors (ages 11-12)
- Seniors (ages 13-14)
Boys and girls in each age group practice together.
Uniforms and Apparel
For our meets, each athlete must wear a St. Anne’s uniform running shirt and shorts. Uniforms from past track and cross-country seasons are acceptable.
Uniforms are not necessary for practices; gym clothes are fine. Every child should wear running shoes, however; basketball sneakers, cleats, and spiked running shoes are not allowed.
Uniforms and optional apparel like sweatshirts are sold through our online store, courtesy of SportLoft, at 1001 Jericho Turnpike in New Hyde Park.

Coaches and Assistant Coaches
St. Anne’s CYO relies on parent volunteers to serve as coaches and assistant coaches on each team. No experience is necessary; our veteran coaches will train you on-the-job!
All adult volunteers in the Diocese of Rockville Centre, however, must be Virtus certified. To sign up for an upcoming Virtus course, click here.
If you’re interested in volunteering, e-mail Head Coach Chris DelliCarpini at [email protected].
Practices
Sunday practices will be on the indoor track at the Chaminade HS Activity-Athletic Center, on Jericho Turnpike between Saville Road and Marcellus Road. Parking is available on Jericho Turnpike and in the lot on Sayville Road. The track is upstairs, above the basketball court.
Our practice dates are:
- January 12
- January 19
- January 26
- February 2
- February 23
Practice times each day are as follows:
- Pee-Wees: 12:00-12:45 PM
- Novices: 12:45-1:30 PM
- Bantams: 1:30-2:15 PM
- Juniors & Seniors: 2:15-3:00 PM
Meets
Our two CYO meets will be in the fieldhouse at St. Anthony’s HS, on their state-of-the-art 200m indoor track. St. Anthony’s is at 275 Wolf Hill Road in Huntington. The fieldhouse is at the far end of the parking lot.
We have two meets scheduled:
- February 9
- March 2
Times are TBD; last year the athletes had to be at the field house at 12:30 PM, the races started at 1:15 PM, and the meet ended by 4:00.
Events vary from meet to meet, but generally are sprints and relays (55m-400m) with some distance events (100m), as well as long jump (standing broad jump for Pee-Wees).
Due to time constraints, children will compete in only one event per meet. Coaches will assign athletes to events each meet, but events do not run at set times; the meet runs as quickly as the officials can clerk each event.
Children may leave once they have competed, but for security and safety, do not leave without telling your child’s coach!
Each meet, St. Anne’s will have to provide volunteers to assist the league officials. These responsibilities can include walking relay runners to their zones, timing runners at the finish line, or clerking the jumps. The week before each meet, the head coach will solicit volunteers.
Below are links to the league information about the season. Every adult accompanying a child to any meet will be expected to have read the Parents’ Fact Sheet and to abide by its directives. Failure to do so could lead St. Anthony’s HS to not allow CYO to return next season.
