This program is designed for athletes from kindergarten through High School. It promotes fitness and sportsmanship while introducing participants to the competitive and technical aspects of track and field. The goal of the program is to develop an appreciation for track and field as a physical activity and to create an atmosphere that is fun and safe. Work on specific skills will lead to progress in athletic ability.

Objectives

Speed and conditioning improve performance in every sport. An athlete can improve his or her speed by developing stronger abdominal muscles, enhancing balance, and improving proper running form. Conditioning is attained by the appropriate pace over distance.

This program teaches these things through practice in our sessions, and gives the athletes the tools to continue development all year.

Scholastic Program

The Scholastic Program offers the high school student athlete the opportunity to develop speed, conditioning and core strength appropriate for all sports in the upcoming fall season.
