C. A. Track Club (CATC) is a non-profit youth track and field team based in Oakland, California that serves the Bay Area's youth in competitive and recreational sports. The club is a member of the USA Track and Field Pacific Association (USATF), as well as the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), and participates in meets locally, state-wide, and nationally. CATC consists of about 75 student-athletes that range in age from 4-18. CATC's goals are to encourage and help our youth to develop physically through team practices and meets, emotionally through growth and positive self-image, and socially through the development of friendships and interaction with positive adult role models. The budgetary funds for CATC are based solely on membership dues, fundraising, and donations.
