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.
