Our program is a great introduction to track & field. We are a recreational program, so we do not require tryouts. All skill levels are welcome. Our program is one of encouragement and stressing individual progress along with offering a degree of competition. We have a staff of professional coaches in addition to student coaches who are all high school track athletes.

PRACTICE INFORMATION:
THE 2025 SPRING SEASON WILL BEGIN MONDAY FEBRUARY 3rd, 2025.
PRACTICES ARE AT BARTRAM TRAIL HIGH SCHOOL EITHER ON THE STADIUM TRACK OR ON THE PRACTICE FIELD.
Our practice schedule does not follow a schedule of specific days every week. This is because our track club must work around high school athletics that also use the Bartram Trail HS Stadium facility.
When you register, you may choose the 10 practice package or the Unlimited practice package. PRACTICE DATES ARE FLEXIBLE!. ATTEND WHEN IT WORKS FOR YOU! One week it may be once or twice, and perhaps the next week your schedule doesn't allow for any practices. We use the honor system and ask if you pay for 10 practices, please only attend 10 practices.
During the season, we may opt to hold a Night Meet during the week in place of practice. Everyone is invited to attend these Night Meets. Limited events will be offered due to time constraints and field events will be available for practice those days for any athlete who would like to practice their throws or jumps. The Night Meets are fun, relaxed and a great way for the kids to get a little extra competition experience.
We do our very best to keep schedule changes at a minimum, but it will happen.
All practices are from 6:15 - 7:45pm unless stated differently on the schedule below.
In case of rain outs, we always do our best to offer make-up meets. Since we do offer 22 practice dates, practice rain outs will not be made up unless we have more than 2 rainouts. Make-ups are usually on Saturday or Sunday afternoons.
There is no Practice the week of St Johns County Spring Break.
