Coaches work with athletes in small groups on, Shot Put Discus, and Javelin as needed to ensure that they are prepared for competition. Our desire is to building character, self-esteem, teamwork, and leadership skills in our athletes.
We have three seasons, Spring, Summer, and Winter (Indoor) Seasons. The Spring Season begins in March and ends in early June. Our Middle School Athletes will have an opportunity to compete in the Middle School State Championship by meeting the qualification Standards. At the end of the spring season, we usually have an awards banquet. Each athlete is recognized for their participation with a certificate, with outstanding accomplishments being recognized with medals.
The Summer Season begins in early June and ends in early August. It's a great opportunity for athletes to start, or continue their training to enhance their competitive edge. It’s also a great way to stay in shape for other sports going into the fall.
