Our Mission:
Track and Field is a sport that has something to offer everyone--from running to jumping to throwing. These events develop speed, power, endurance, coordination, balance, self-confidence, and team work in children and provide a healthy avenue to physical fitness and social development. Not everyone is cut out for baseball or lacrosse, but track and field is accessible to young athletes of all abilities.
We believe that youth sports should be for fun. According to the most recent NCAA statistics, roughly 5% of high school athletes go on to participate in college athletics and of those 5%, only 1% receive athletic scholarships of any amount. Our goal is to lay the foundation for future success in track and field and in life by teaching and practicing the fundamentals of each event. For us, success is improvement, not necessarily winning. The Red Magic Youth Track Club emphasizes practice in a non-threatening environment and offers some competitive opportunities to those who are interested. Every practice consists of a thorough warm up and cool down, instruction, form work, workouts, and competition.
While the trend in youth sports is to specialize in one sport, we believe that athleticism and fitness are developed through many different movements. With this in mind, we encourage our athletes to try all of the events, but ultimately we leave the event choices to the athletes.
