Summer Track & Field Team
WHEN: April 29 th - June 24 th 2005 (Monday, Wednesday & Friday at 7PM)
WHERE: Liberty High School
WHO: Girls & Boys Entering Grades 5 - 12
Description:
Several athletes and parents have asked us to support the creation of a summer track and field program. This program would seek to achieve two primary goals:
- Provide Additional opportunities to compete in.
- Encourage younger athletes to consider participating in Track & Field.
Athletes will work towards developing their skills in both the running and field events. Coaches will evaluate each athlete and suggest specific events for the athletes to focus their energies. After approximately four weeks of training, an all-comers meet will be hosted at LHS in which the athletes can compete against athletes of their own age and sex.
We also intend to attend our Association's Preliminary (sponsored by UST&F) meet on June 4 th . The cost of participating in this event is not known and will be passed through to each athlete who wishes to enter. There are several other meets in the area ( Maryland & Virginia ) which your athlete will be able to attend as well (most of them are on Saturdays or Sundays in June & July). These are all-comers meets which are conducted by area running clubs. Races are typically conducted in age groups (9 & 10 - Bantam; 11 & 12 - Midget; 13 & 14 - Youth; 15 & 16 - Intermediate; 17 & 18 - Young Men & Women).

When possible, workouts will be tailored to improve each athletes speed, endurance and strength. These workouts will be conducted in groups divided by sex and age group.
