Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
DO THEY NEED EXPERIENCE RUNNING?
Nope! All levels of youth are welcome, we take a "run as far as you can" approach, not pushing athletes to limits they aren't ready for. For younger kids they start by trying to go as far as they can in an allotted time, self adjusted pace, just keep moving. Our goals are getting to the 1 mile distance then eventually a 2k for youth under 10. We play lots of games so athletes improve endurance fast with out even knowing! Middle School age athletes can run distances up to 5k.
HOW DO YOU KEEP ATHLETES SAFE ON RUNS?
All training groups have 2-3 trained coaches with athlete count-offs continuously called out. A coach will always be running the "caboose" so no runner is left behind. All athletes are given neon shirts and even glowing bracelets and flashing safety gear as practices approach dusk time in late fall.
MY CHILD HAS NEVER PLAYED A SPORT BEFORE, IS THAT OK?
That is more than OK! Track Stars is meant to introduce new and novice athletes to the amazing sport of Running. We support ALL Athletes! If your child has a disability or needs special support we are happy to accommodate as needed, please email your commissioner after registration to see how we can give them the best season ever!
WHO ARE THE COACHES?
Track Stars is a 501c3 and operates through volunteer and student leadership. Our student head coaches are selected each year to lead the chapters and teams. To learn more check out our coaching page: COACH
DO THEY COMPETE IN RACES?
Track Stars is a one of a kind recreational program. We do not compete in AAU or USATF Junior Olympic Development. Instead athletes can compete in local 5k / Mile races. We also have our south location hosting a track stars only XC style race on October 18th.
