Track & Field begins April 25th and runs through the Junior Olympics in June (or July if you qualify!).
When:
Practices will be on Monday and Thursday nights from 6:00 to approximately 7:30. Parents must be available to pick up their kids 15
minutes prior to the end of practice. Track meets are scheduled throughout the season. Check the Calendar page for the most up-to-date schedule.
Where: Averill Park High School track, behind the school
Who: Kids ages 7-14 who like to run, play games & have fun! You do not need to be a resident of the Averill Park School District.
What: Practices consist of distance and sprint exercises along with lots of games. Field events include long jump, high jump, hurdles, shot put, turbo javelin and discus. Through the season
there will be several meets where we are competing against other
teams. There are usually a few home meets at APHS as well as
away meets. The big event is your participation in the Junior Olympics
in June.
How: Check the website and Advertiser in the spring for details!!! We are a
501(c)3 Non-Profit organization and do not want the cost of APRR
Programs to be a barrier to participation. If your child is interested
in participating but your current financial
circumstance is a concern, please contact the APRR Board. We have a
number of scholarships available.
All athletes must also be registered with the USATF (United States Track & Field Association). Registrations
cost $20 for youth and are good for a calendar year. Your membership can also be used for Cross Country in the fall. Get
your child's USATF number first because you will need it for the AP
Road Runners registration process. USATF registration is required for all athletes, as our insurance is
through USATF and we are a USATF Sanctioned Club.
