Program Philosophy

Track & Field builds it's philosophy on top of St. A's foundation of Love, Learn, Lead:

We want athletes to Love the sport
We want athletes to Love and have compassion for their teammates
We want athletes to Learn something about running they'll be able to use forever
We want our coaches and athletes to model inspirational Leadership

Program Overview

Track & Field is a Spring sport for girls and boys in grades 4 - 8. The 2025 Season will run from March 11 to May 18. Practices are 3 days a week for 60 - 90 minutes and teach sprinting, distance running, throwing, and jumping techniques, along with mobility and strengthening.

St. A's participates in 5-10 meets throughout the Spring, most of which occur on the weekend. Athletes typically compete in 2 - 4 events based on preferences and meet rules. St. A's placed 1st in the 2024 CYO Championships setting a new meet record for total points while 4 athletes qualified for the IESA State Meet in 5 separate events.

Our large and diverse staff includes former D1 All Americans, USATF certified coaches, and decades of coaching and teaching experience at the middle-school level. We create engaging fast-paced practices that could have an athlete working on high jump, javelin, and relay handoffs all in a single 1-hour session.

Track & Field is a unique alternative to other team sports in that we're co-ed, include a wide range of ages, and our athletes are able to try a diverse variety of events. This allows the athletes to discover hidden athletic talents, as well as build relationships and a respect for one-another that is nothing short of inspiring.
