WE HAVE FOUR SEASONS

Spring Track and Field - A competitive program usually focused on grades 5 through 8 that starts the first week in April and goes through the end of June. Athletes compete in USATF meets culminating with the Junior Olympics New England Championships. Some athletes will qualify and choose to move on to Regional and National competition and participate in those meets during the month of July.

Summer Track - This is a developmental program for rising 3rd through rising 9th graders that starts after the 4th of July and meets once per week for six weeks. Athletes get to try many different events (high jump, long jump, sprints, distance, shot put, javelin) and move in groups according to grade. We end each practice with 4x100 relays. Kids of all ages LOVE this program.

Cross Country - A competitive program usually focused on 5th through 8th graders that competes against middle schools in the Cape Ann League. The season starts in September and ends with the USATF New England Junior Olympic Championship in early November, with a few kids moving on to Regional and National competition.

Indoor Track - A competitive program usually for 5th through 8th graders that starts in January and ends in March with the USATF New England Indoor Championship. We compete at major indoor venues like The Track at New Balance, Reggie Lewis Athletic Center, and Wheaton College.
