The Boys & Girls Middle School Track team is looking forward to another successful season. Learning new skills along with live game action in practice will be instrumental in developing the player’s fundamentals throughout the season as well as giving them feedback with results they can relate to immediately. Working on finer skills and establishing roles in practice and in meets will help further them as players as we face a challenging ISL and Prep Private schedule this Spring.

The coaches are looking forward to seeing each and every athlete develop as the season progresses.
