This track and field program is designed for ages 5 to 14 years. By joining the program, children can learn and develop basic athletic skills during the summer. Competitions are based on age and offer the participants and their parents a solid introduction to the sport. Young athletes have the option to choose the events in which they compete based on their individual interests and abilities.
