Track Season
The Spire track program provides middle school and high school student-athletes the opportunity to train and compete in track and field events.
The program is challenging and competitive and runs from mid-March through May.
SCHEDULE:
During the track season, practices are held on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday in the Springfield/Annandale area, with training focused on various disciplines, including sprints, distance running, jumps, and throws. Spire practices as a team three days a week and athletes are expected to train independently on “off” days. Training is based on age and ability with daily workouts provided by our coaching team.
Throughout the season, most athletes participate in 8-9 local track meets, competing against a variety of schools including public, private, and other homeschool teams.
REGISTRATION is now open.
HAVE A QUESTION?
Frequently asked
questions
What type of equipment is required?
A good pair of running shoes are a must. Suggested but not required is a running watch with a stopwatch function. Racing spikes are not required.
What if I can't make every practice?
Because track is a team event, it’s important to consider the time commitment to daily training, as dedication and consistency are key to success and prevention of injury. Contact us to discuss potential conflicts before registering.
Do we still run if the weather is bad?
We run in rain, snow, heat, and cold. However, if the weather is particularly precarious, an email will be sent at least two hours before the meeting time to communicate how practice will be handled.
I'm injured, what should I do?
Let the coaches know immediately. A treatment and training plan will be discussed with you.
Can my 12-year-old join?
This would be considered on a case by case basis. Contact us to inquire.
I'm not homeschooled, can I still join?
While this is specifically a homeschool running team, some exceptions can be made. Contact us with questions.
