The Kennworth Track and Field Club is for boys and girls, ages 5 - 18, who want
to learn about Track and Field and have fun.

We believe that the athlete comes first!  Our primary mission is to make sure
that the athletes have fun, learn new lifelong skills, and learn how to constantly
strive to improve.  We also provide the opportunity to compete against other
teams, and develop the basic and intermediate skills to advance into the next
track and field and cross country levels of high school, college, and beyond.

Interested athletes do not have to have prior track and field (running, jumping,
and throwing) experience in order to participate. The dedicated staff of coaches
will teach beginners as well as continually develop the seasoned returning
veterans on the team.


Affiliation/Competition

As a member of the North West Georgia Track League, and under affliliation of
the United States Track and Field Association (USATF), we participate in
numerous youth track and field events (track meets), primarly held in the spring  
and early summer timeframe, and compete with other similar teams in the
league.  At the end of the season, athletes may advance into area (multi-county),
statewide: USATF Junior Olympics and Georgia Games, USATF Junior Olympics
regional (multi-state), and USATF national competitive events such as the
National Youth Championships, and USATF Junior Olympics.  While competition
can be exciting, our coaches believe that what is more important is to make
sure that each athlete is properly trained and that over time, ensure there is
constant improvement in performance and learning of critical healthy lifelong
skills.
Competition age is calculated based on what age the athlete will be by
December 31, 2009 (not when they sign up or compete).  See the Handouts link
for more information about age groups as defined by the USATF for the year
2009.
