Our head coach, Christopher Bell, is the high school track and field coach. We have also hired other professional coaches with expertise in long jump, high jump, discus, shot put and running.
In addition to our athletes learning correct form and building endurance, they also will gain confidence in their running abilities and have a lot of fun in the process.
This season the team will meet on Wednesdays from 4.30-6 pm starts on the 3rd of September until the 17th of December. Over the course of the season the athletes will have an opportunity to work on all major track and field events. There will be athletes of all levels, each competing against themselves, trying to get a “Personal Best” each time they come to practice.
The cost for the season is 6000 which includes a uniform and water bottle.
