Track Club for Middle Schoolers - Spring Session • Register • View Cart •

This 7-week Intramural Track Club program for students in grades 6-8 is proudly entering our 7th year with TheTotalRunnerAthletics and East Granby Parks & Recreation.

The program runs Monday, Wednesday & Fridays, from April 15th through May 31st , from 2:20-4:00 pm.  A family orientation on April 15th will happen from 4pm - 4:40pm.  The program will run at East Granby Farms with bus transportation from the EG middle School to EG farms. Families are responsible for ensuring their child is promptly picked up at 4 pm at East Granby Farms. 

This intramural sports program aims to introduce the sport of Track & Field to students who may be either new to running or who are looking to participate in High School Track & Field/ Cross Country during their High School years. This program teaches the fundamentals of running for sprinting, distance events, relays, and hurdles, and will also offer opportunities to participate in competitive events starting in early May.

We will focus on developing cognitive, physical, and social skills as it relates to establishing a solid running foundation, for all sports preparation/participation. This goal-oriented program will provide instruction on vital running concepts, through practical demonstrations/ clinics, and training activities. We will work to develop proper running form, key strength training exercises, pre/post workout stretching techniques, proper nutrition, and self-care for athletes.

Participants will also develop character skills, such as good sportsmanship, perseverance, keeping a positive attitude, setting, and achieving realistic goals, and understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Participation in competitive events is not required but encouraged based on the family’s ability/ schedule for their child to attend. More information will be provided at the family orientation on Monday, April 15th.

Assessments will be held on Tuesday, April 2nd at East Granby Farms at 4 pm, for all new and returning students.

Registration fills quickly and space is limited. Returning TotalRunnerAthletics participants will have priority enrollment, so please register early. Families will receive program acceptance notifications by Wednesday, April 10th.  

Registration fee includes bus transportation to the farms for in-town participants, athlete welcome kit (singlet, water bottle, & training log), and a healthy, after-school snack before practice.
