MIAMI VALLEY TC  ---  SUMMER SCHEDULE

 

The Miami Valley TC is a youth oriented USATF member club based in Yellow Springs, Ohio.  It has been providing the opportunity for young people to participate in the National Junior Olympic programs for Track & Field since 1982.   All track & field events are instructed, as appropriate, for each age group. Age groups start at 8 years of age and are divided into 2 year age groups.

 

The Miami Valley Track is a labor of love and not a for profit organization.  There is no paid staff, so it doesn't cost an arm or a leg to participate in the Miami Valley Track Club's programs like the majority of traveling soccer and AAU basketball leagues.   The Track & Field program starts in mid May and continues thru the end of July.   The Cross Country program begins in mid October and continues thru early December.  Both programs emphasis the National Junior Olympic competitions available thru USA Track & Field.

Athletes from majority of the schools in the
Miami Valley have participated in the Club's summer track and field program and/or early winter cross country programs over the years.   Many have gone on to HS state titles and college athletic careers.

Club Membership is $40 per year, $20 of which goes towards the athletes membership in USATF, the governing body for T&F in this country.  The other $20 covers the cost of the athlete’s competition singlet.    Athletes are responsible for weekly entry fees which can vary from $5 per meet to $8 per event.  Average weekly expense for entry fees is less than $12 per athlete.  Athletes supply their own solid black shorts and training shoes and competition spikes.  Some are available thru the club for those needing assistance.

Club practices start Monday, May 14th,
6pm, at Yellow Springs HS.   Practices are three times - generally on M, W and Th. evenings.  Practice dates will vary the first two weeks because of HS Sistrict and Regional competitions:


Athletes can start coming to practices once their participation in their school program is completed.  For most JH athletes this is May 14th.  For HS athletes its after their last competition, be it District, Regional, or State. For more information contact Jennifer Peters @ 767-7424 or visit the club’s web site:       http://www.miamivalleytrackclub.org/
