Youth Track & Field Information

Posted on: March 17, 2022
Youth Track

We are pleased to present information for the 2022 season of Harrison's Youth Track & Field program that is available to the entire community.  The design of this program is to introduce the sport of track & field to kids in our area.  Participants will learn the basic fundamentals of the sport and at the same time develop athletic skills such as speed, strength, running form, and jumping and throwing ability that are useful in all sports.  We are looking to have a fun, low-key environment that will build a passion, love, and interest in the sport.

Students from grades K-6 in the Southwest Local School District are eligible for this program.  Practices begin the week of Monday April 18 and will all take place at the Harrison High School Track & Field Complex.  Click HERE to see the calendar to follow for specific dates and times.

Meets will be on Saturdays at 9:00 AM beginning Saturday, April 30 with the last meet on Saturday, May 21.  Meets will be held at Harrison High School or Taylor High School.    Athletes are not required to attend all meets/practices. Events will include the Long Jump, Softball Toss, and the 50, 75, 100, 200, and 400 meter Dashes and the 800m Run.

Online Registration ONLY through the Harrison Athletic Booster website!  Please visit harrisonathleticboosters.com, create a profile, and select “2022 Harrison Youth Track Registration” to enroll.  Enrollment fee must be paid by credit/debit card.  Cost of registration is $40.00. 

 

VOLUNTEERS are NEEDED!

We must have Grade Level Coaches to run drills at practices and supervise athletes at the meets!  Grade levels without coaches will NOT have teams this year.  This is a great way to get an up-close view of your child’s performance and helps make the program run smoothly!  We will also need volunteers to run events at our home meets and hand out ribbons at the finish line.  With 200 athletes last year we will need the help!
