The Needham Youth Track Club is beginning a new Indoor Track season. Open to children age 7-14, the program will meet on Sundays from December 17, 2023 - March 3, 2024. There are two sessions: 9:15 - 10:20 am and 10:40 am - 11:45 am. The sessions will be held at Babson College Recreation Center in Wellesley. Children will be coached both in running and hurdles. Masks are optional and we encourage children to be vaccinated.
There will be sprint teams and distance teams. Children will be placed in groups depending on age and goals. The program is suitable for those serious about track and field and wanting to compete in meets as well as those with a more casual interest who want exercise and to learn more about running events. Hurdle training occurs but very limited training in field events.
Coaches will be available at selected meets during the season, though we will also hold our weekly Sunday session for those who may not want to run in meets.
A typical Sunday session might include
- Warm up and stretching
- Running drills and fitness training
- Event skills training
- Recovery
