FAQs

 

What is the practice schedule?

Athletes will receive training based on the season and competition level. The Summer Season will be the busiest time for practices, as athletes will be out of school and less involved in school-related activities. Those practices will occur weekly.

Where are practices held?

Every athlete’s situation is unique, especially if they are involved in other sports. Summer practices will be held outdoor at a designated track.

What does competition season entail?

We offer competitive training to girls & boys of all skill levels, ages 5-18. This year, we are offering one season, Summer. The Summer Season runs from May to the beginning of August. . Additional seasons will depend on demand and resources.

How does team travel work?

Athletes are expected to travel and compete. Meets are mostly within driving distance (local to 1-3 hours away). Some are more than 3 hours driving distance. There are several higher-level meets that may require extensive driving (> 3 hours) or flight. All travel is the responsibility of the member.

What does the coaching look like?

Our team of coaches consists of current and former athletes who are degree-holders, hold certifications with USATF, are SafeSport trained and compliant, and participate in continuing education courses and training.
