Competition

The Wolfpack competition team is for hardworking athletes who seek a more structured, focused, and competitive experience. Do your kids love track and field or trail running? Do they like to be in a competitive environment? Do they like to work hard and be rewarded for personal improvement? Do they understand the basics but want to learn even more? Do they want to be part of state and national teams?

If so, this is the Pack for them.

Our team focuses on racing strategies, mental strength development, and goal setting within a fun environment. Each practice features core and agility work within a comprehensive training plan that enables athletes to peak at specific times throughout the season. This team is geared toward athletes who would like to compete at state, regional, and possibly national levels in track and field and/or cross country. Athletes should be able to comfortably run two miles without stopping to thrive in this program.

The competition team is USATF certified, and athletes on this team are required to have a USATF membership.

Teams are contingent on enrollment. Additional practice locations/teams may be added and/or changed. Rain-outs are decided based on condition/safety of the practice location. Rain alone does not mean practices will be cancelled. Our coach will reach out to you if practice will be cancelled/rescheduled. There is a $20 bookkeeping fee on all refunds. No refunds will be given after the first week of practice.
