Now in our 10th year, the Tri-State
Athletic Club is a USA Track & Field-member, volunteer, youth track &
field/cross country club open to anyone ages 6 & up regardless of
experience and/or ability. Our mission is to help grow the sport of track &
field/cross country by providing quality instruction and competitive
opportunities in a challenging, but fun, environment. Our athletes have enjoyed
success as Association and Regional champions, and medalists at both the USATF
Youth Outdoor Championships and USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field
Championships. And in 2013 we produced our first NATIONAL CHHAMPION!
As
part of our commitment to keep opportunities accessible to everyone, our
memberships are $100.00 for the first family member and $50.00 for each
additional family member. Memberships are for good for one year from the season
(cross county, indoor track, or outdoor) they join to allow families to do as
much as they would like with us during that period. Memberships cover their
USATF memberships and uniforms (theirs to keep) with all remaining funds going
towards meet entry fees and club expenses.
During Indoor season, we practice Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, and Friday most often at Ritter Park, although weather conditions may
necessitate occasional changes. Over the Spring/Summer we will practice Monday
through Thursday. We begin as close to 5:30pm as possible and are usually
finished around 7:00pm. Practices are not mandatory because we recognize that
parents have their own obligations and our athletes frequently participate in
multiple sports and activities. Practices are always intended to be efficient
with emphasis on the development of proper technique, conditioning, strength,
and race preparation.
