2025 Track & Field Spring Registration

The D.A.Y.O. Lightning Youth Track & Field is the first youth Track and Field program established in Danbury, CT, in March of 2011. We are a training and developmental Track and Field program for athletes ages 5 to 14. Our one-of-a-kind warm-up program moves seamlessly from a slow to fast progression, focusing on all major muscles to prepare athletes for maximum performance. Each aspect of our practice workout is designed with proper technique in mind, so athletes will progressively learn complex start techniques, race strategies, and breathing techniques without realizing it. These unique training techniques give our athletes a competitive advantage in all events from start to finish. Leadership skills are encouraged, developed, and rewarded as all athletes are given opportunities to lead drills and/or select teams for practice competitions.

Athletes will compete against athletes their age from other Northeast teams. We encourage our athletes to focus on healthy lifestyles through athletics and clean eating.

Parents, take a look at a few of our athletes who went on to compete in college:

Bethune Cookman, Boston U, CCSU, Davidson, Navy, Sacred Heart, SCSU, SCSU, UConn, Villanova

Please take a moment to talk with your athlete(s) about the importance of following the coach's instructions. We expect athletes to be attentive and follow coaches' instructions. This helps to maintain a safe environment and prevent injuries. Your athlete's safety is of paramount priority.

The Danbury Lightning Indoor Track and Field offers boys and girls ages 5 through 15 the opportunity to get into great condition while learning about and competing in Track and Field. Practices are designed to help each athlete to reach their potential in a fun and competitive environment. Practices are held for the Spring and Summer on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Danbury High School. For the Indoor Season practice will change to Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM after we have our first meet on Dec. 10 At Hillhouse in New Haven. Indoor practices are held at The Harambee Youth Center 54 West St. in Danbury. Meets are typically on Sunday Mornings from 8:00 AM and can sometimes last as late as 5:00 PM.

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.
