WHen & WHere

Sundays: 6:00pm–7:30pm

July 13–August 24 (7 weeks)

Pioneer HS Track, Ann Arbor

WHO

Athletes: entering 1st–8th grade

Coach: Nick Willis + athletes from the HS program


What

Alternating weeks:

  • 100m, shot put, long jump, Rocket Javelin, 400m staggered (optional)

  • 200m, discus, high jump, agility, 800m staggered (optional)

All efforts will be recorded and tracked each week, and children will earn points every time they achieve a PR. The volunteers at each event station will focus on providing your child individual attention after their respective runs, jumps or throws, with specific intention to encourage them in their effort. At the end of the season, awards will be handed out to those who earn the most PR points. Improvement and effort (and fun) is our main goal for your children.

The final week will be a club track meet, where we will seed the children into heats based on their best performances throughout the season, and then awards will be given to the top 3 in each heat.

Cost

Program fee of $150 ($100 if parent volunteers for season)
