Indoor Track and Field is a competitive program for 5th through 8th graders that starts in December 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.
If you have questions, please contact Coach Ladd at sarahladd05@gmail.com.
Indoor track and field offers a variety of events that athletes can choose to compete in including: sprints, hurdles, distance races, long jump, high jump, and shot put.
We believe multi-sport athletes should NOT be excluded from the excitement of competition or denied the opportunity to represent their school at and available meets. Athletes that play other sports but can train with us at least one day per week are welcome, as long as they commit to participating in some of our meets available.
Athletes are expected to attend practices and compete in meets when they have no conflicts.
We welcome athletes of ALL abilities but expect them to train hard and to be ambitious.
While we pride ourselves on a supportive coaching environment, we are a competitive program focused on preparing athletes for local, state, regional, and national competition.
Registration ($135) is open to athletes in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades who live in any of the three Masco towns.
USA Track & Field Membership ($30) is also required and we will provide details on the process to obtain that membership.
Uniforms ($47) are purchased separately and can be used for all of our programs (outdoor track, cross country, and indoor track).
Full- and half-scholarships are available for those that request them. Please email Coach Ladd for details at sarahladd05@gmail.com.
WHOLE TEAM PRACTICE TIMES ARE 4:30-6:00 in Masco Field House
Practice Dates:

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.
If you are participating in spring track, cross country, or indoor, you will need a USATF membership. You do NOT need a membership to participate in the summer program.
