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.
