TRACK & FIELD
PROGRAM 

The spring youth track and field training program spans early February to mid-June (sometimes July, if athletes qualify for the USATF Junior Olympic Championships).  We typically focus on running events.

​

It is open to boys and girls ages 7-15,  with a minimum fitness level of running.  As a safety precaution, an athlete must be able to run continuously for 35 minutes and a single mile in 7:30 minutes or less.

Practices & Workouts

There are 4 practices per week held at various locations in Danville and Pleasanton.  Please contact the Head Coach of each respective group to determine specific days and locations. 

​

Track Meets

We believe racing allows our athletes to push to their highest potential. Therefore, our season typically includes the following Club supported events:

  • Hosting one (1) Mini Meet, where athletes are introduced to racing in at a smaller event at a local track.

  • One to two Mini Meets hosted by other track and field teams.

  • One regional track meet.

  • Pacific Association Championship Meet (usually early June with top 8 qualifying).

  • Top 5 Junior Olympic Qualifier Meet (end of June)  

  • USATF Junior Olympics (July)

The Club provides coach support for the athletes that qualify to race at the final two meets. 

​

Track & Field Fees

Please contact us for fees.

Note: Additional siblings (aside from first) are at a discounted rate.

 

The program covers costs associated with insurance, race fees for Club supported meets, coaches' stipends, equipment, supplies, and facility permits. 

​

Athletes are welcome to join us for a trial workout to determine program fit.  

​

Please Note: Due to the rising costs of track and field permitting costs, parents will be asked to reimburse the Club when their athlete misses a meet where fees are paid by the Club, with the exception of Coach-excused absences.
