The primary objective and purpose of this organization is to inspire and instill today's youth with the ideals of good sportsmanship, respect for oneself and others, teamwork and pride in accomplishing academic and athletic achievement while teaching the fundamentals of track and field youth athleticism. Our club provides a structured and comprehensive Track & Field and Cross Country program for youth, and young adults ranging in ages from 5-17. This program is coupled with skill building, life-learning education, along with health and fitness activities.

What it reported doing in 2024
