About the Youth Competitive Team:
About our program:
The youth competitive athletes will receive a uniform and participate in various track meet opportunities against other USATF club athletes.
We will provide event-specific coaching in all event areas: sprints, jumps, pole vault, hurdles, and throws.
No prior experience necessary! We expect many athletes to be brand new to the sport.
Practices Times and Locations:
Our season will begin on Monday, April 1. Our season ends at the conclusion of the USATF Youth Season in late July.
In April and May, practices are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 5:30pm and will last about one hour. Practices will be at the UC Davis track or the Davis High School track. We will communicate locations via text or email in advance.
Practices on June 10, June 11, and June 13 will be 9:00am.
Beginning June 17, practices will be five days per week from 9am - 11am at the Davis High School track.
Note: If you would like to participate in this program but cannot attend all of the practices, please email Spencer Elliott at selliott@djusd.net.

The program is open to youth athletes ages 6 and up.
Jr High and High School athletes should compete with their school programs in the spring, then join us afterward. We will have a prorated cost.
