The Team J-Hawk Track & Field club’s mission is to provide an opportunity for young athletes to be able to take advantage of a valuable physical training experience and to enhance life skills through interaction with individuals from various cultures. The coed team is designed for youth (ages 8 – 12, 2nd - 6th grade) and will educate individuals on various track and field training methods, nutrition, and care and prevention of injuries. The participants will have the opportunity to compete at the local, state and national levels through track meets. Please know that meet participation is not a requirement and that participants are responsible for their own meet registration and transportation to and from the events. The coaches will provide a list of local meets that students can attend.
Practices will be on Wednesdays at Frerichs Field (UHS Stadium) on the campus of Urbandale High School. Practices may be cancelled due to inclement weather and when that is the case, practices will be made up on Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon later on in the season. Last year, we had 68 students participate in the program and we anticipate for that number to grow which is the reason for the staggered practice times. Any parent with a student in the program and has some knowledge or experience in track and field is encouraged to sign up as a volunteer coach on the registration form.
