Track and Field
The SYA Youth Track Program
is for all 5th – 8th grade boys and girls. Our main emphasis is on
developing good habits in warm-up, stretching, and cool down and on good
fundamentals in both the running and field events. The events available at
our meets are the same as at the high school level with the exception of pole
vault and triple jump.
All athletes will have the
opportunity to compete against other athletes their age from different area
organizations. A majority of the meets are in
Frederick
County
. Each participant will be required to pay the entrance fee for each track meet
they attend. Participation fees range from $3.00 - $5.00.
The goal for each child participating is for them to improve from the
beginning of the season to the end. Each child will be asked to set a goal
that they would like to achieve, big or small, and help them to hit that goal
and possibly beyond. The main emphasis is on steady improvement by the athletes. Once
a goal is obtained then a new one will be set.
Practices are all held at the
Smithsburg
High School
track and meets are held mainly in
Frederick
County
. Practices will be on Monday and Wednesday from
6:00 – 7:00
, with some Friday practices. Meets are on the weekends. More information will
be available at the first practice/meeting on
March 17, 2008
at the high school track.
