HSA Track and Field

Mission

The mission for our track program is as follows:

1. Provide a safe and fun environment for our children to learn the fundamentals of track and field
2. Teach them the role of self-care in athleticism (i.e. stretching, proper nutrition, hydration, etc.)
3. Develop a program that will help undergird their other activities, giving them increased stamina and speed in other sports

Practices and Meets

Practices will be held at Lucas Middle School, 923 Snow Hill Rd, Durham, NC 27712. Practices will typically be from 6:00pm-7:00pm on either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, depending on Lucas' spring athletic schedule. You will have the opportunity during the registration process to specify a preferred practice night. Depending on the number of registrations and coaching volunteers, we may not field a practice on each of those nights. Please be as flexible with your preferences as possible and volunteer if you can! All age groups will practice together, splitting into smaller groups as needed.

Meets will also be held at Lucas Middle School and are planned for specific Saturday mornings throughout the season, starting at 9:00am.

Rain Out/Make-up Policy

Our practice and meet make-up policies are determined during the season and alternate dates will be sent out once they're scheduled.
