Track

Registration Tentatively Opens Oct 1st

Come run track with us ages 4-18 (by Jan 13th).    

Kids will be exposed to the 200m, 400m, 800m and the 4x100m relay. Please note that we will NOT be running on a track but rather a sidewalk or trail.

Children are taught not only how to run and increase their endurance but also sportsmanship and teamwork. We use positive reinforcement, creative teaching techniques and give guidance at your child's specific developmental level, while emphasizing fun.  All teams are coached by caring parent volunteers.

We are not a drop-off program.  Parents are required to stay onsite and volunteer in some capacity. 

Coaches Needed

Registration will not open until we have enough coaches.  If you wish to coach please send us an email ASAP info@velocitycolorado.com

4 & 5 Year Olds

Have a 4 or 5 year old?  You have a choice between signing up for Track or Sports Skills.  Choose the sport you think your child will enjoy most!  4/5 year olds will have the option of running a 200m, 400m, 800m and/or the 4x100m relay in the meets.

Season - Mondays 

Our 8 week season runs from Monday, January 13th- Monday, March 10th. No practice on MLK day.

Mondays at 11 am.  We will have two timed meets/races. 

Practice runs for ~30-60 minutes. Length of practice based on age.  The meets might run longer depending on how many kids sign up.

Schedule Breakdown

Weeks 1, 2 & 3: Intro to running their race distance.  Fun running and endurance games.  

Week 4: Meet 1. The meet will run shortest distance to longest distance.  Younger kids will run first followed by the older ages.  All kids should plan on arriving at 10:50am and staying to cheer for all age groups.

Weeks 5, 6 & 7: Running games/practice.

Week 8: Meet 2. Trying to improve their own time. The meet will run shortest distance to longest distance. The younger kids will run first followed by the older ages.  All kids should plan on arriving at 10:50am and staying to cheer for all age groups.

Distances

Each child will have the option of competing in the 200m, 400m and/or 800m.  They can choose to compete in just one or all of the events.  We recommend they compete in the same distances for both meets but that is not required.  As these are shorter track distances, your child should be able to run/jog the entire distance without walking.  If they can not run the entire 400m or 800m we recommend they register to run the 200m to start. 

You will need to register for each event so we know who to plan for, for each distance.  https://form.jotform.com/VelocityColorado/track2025
