Youth Track and Field 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: distance, 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 regular season will begin on Monday, March 30. Our season ends at the conclusion of the USATF Youth Season in July.

In April and May, practices are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 6:00pm 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.

Beginning June 15, 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.

Preseason Conditioning NEW!

We are offering a “Preseason Conditioning” program that runs from January through March! These practices are for self-motivated athletes in all event groups interested in preparing for the upcoming track and field season.

Practices will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30pm - 6:30pm at the UC Davis track.

The program is open to youth athletes ages 6 and up.
