The CORK Youth Track program is for grades 3-8 and does not require experience to join. Our goal is for kids to have fun, learn about track and field, and how to train properly. All practices and meets are optional. This year the CORK Youth Track Season will have a focus on the running events from 400m to 3000m. Participants will receive coaching for how to train, running form, nutrition guidance, starting, pacing, warming up, workouts, stretching, etc.
Cost: One child is $50, Two children is $75, and Three children are $100 Ages: Grades 3rd through 8th. Location: Cascade Middle School Track Days/Times: Mondays and Thursdays: 4:30 to 6:00. Wednesdays 4:00 to 5:00pm
