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.
