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.
Registration is currently closed. Please check with Coach Toleos to see if a spot is available by sending an email to aaron@toleos.com.
Did you know that one of the largest and most successful youth track and field programs in New England is right here in your own backyard? Our boys were #2 and girls #3 in the state last year, we qualified dozens of athletes for Nationals, and we even had one become an All-American!
What events will your athlete be great at? Sign them up and we'll help them figure it out while they have a ton of fun with friends in a safe, supportive, and positive coaching environment.
Events include the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 3000, hurdles, relays, long jump, high jump, shot put, discus, and javelin.
We believe multi-sport athletes should NOT be excluded from the excitement of Junior Olympic competition or denied the opportunity to represent their school at the state championship. 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 our two biggest meets: the MA Middle School State Championship and the New England Junior Olympics Championships (see schedule below for dates).
Athletes are expected to compete in all early season meets where they have no conflicts and to prioritize the championship meets in June.
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 ($120) 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 but that can be purchased later and we will provide details on the process.
Uniforms ($46.50) 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.
We are awaiting final confirmation but expect to practice Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:00PM to 7:30PM at the Masco track starting on April 7. There will be an optional training on a weekend day (probably Sunday 10 to 11:30am) on weekends when we do not have a meet scheduled.
NOTE: Regular season meets are generally on Sundays and in the afternoon, approximately 3pm to 7pm. Athletes arrive at different times depending on the start time of the events in which they're entered, and they may leave when their event is complete.
