Why should we join?
· Be part of our team! With a combination of individual and relay events, the Track and Cross Country program offers members an opportunity to be part of a community team that encourages each individual to improve in running, jumping and throwing.
· Flexible schedules: Teammates and families are encouraged to join as many practices and meets as family schedules can accommodate; but, there are no minimum time commitments. You are welcome to try out a practice before enrolling.
· Flexible goals: various Track and Field events are offered across several age groups, levels of skill, experience, and motivation. The more each athlete wants to train, the faster he or she will improve his/her abilities. Some athletes join to specifically improve in Track and Field events, others use this as cross training for other sports. Some join only for the practices and others only for the meet.
· Healthy fun: This program provides access to 2 scheduled practices per week from mid-Mar through mid-May and is complementary to other sports programs.
