Track and Field Programs

Youth Enrichment Services (YES) hosts a three-season track & field program for youth of various ages. The goal is to educate youth about the benefits and excitement of the sport and develop a lifelong appreciation and respect of healthy activities.

There will also be opportunities for youth to train and compete in local and regional meets and road races as a team.

Space is limited for each season based on the capacity at the site and the number of coaches per age group.

The program is free of charge, although there are opportunities to support and fundraise for YES programming.
