  • MEASURING PROGRESS. Although it's our mission to make fitness fun, it's not always just fun and games. Track & field is a competitive sport and our focus is to help our athletes get faster and stronger. Our programs are age group appropriate and are designed to gradually improve fitness, strength, flexibility and coordination. Athletes that consistently attend training and participate will see significant improvement through the year. To measure this improvement, we have developed a monthly performance test for all Junior Development (JD) athletes (2016-2012). On the last Monday each month, all JD groups will complete these exercises.

    FOR JANUARY - MARCH:

    • Standing Long Jump

    • Timed Plank

    • 600m Run

    FOR APRIL - JULY, ADD:

    • Standing Box Jump

    • 100m

    FOR SEPTEMBER - NOVEMBER:

    • Standing Long Jump

    • Timed Plank

    • 600m Run

    EXERCISES MEASURED AND RECORDED. Although our athletes are competitive, this is not meant to be a competition. The purpose is to track improvement and provide positive feedback to our athletes.

    Results are posted HERE.

    The next Measurement Monday is March 31, 2025.
