Track & Field Camp for Girls and Boys entering 2nd – 7th Grades
Both boys and girls are invited to join HS Varsity Coaches Charro Coleman (Head Girls Coach) and Justin Mansfield (Head Boys Coach) for a track & field camp this summer! This camp is specially designed for all students going into second through seventh grades in the fall. The camp will focus on the six field events: long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, shot, and discus. We will also learn how to come out of blocks at the start of sprint races, how to make baton exchanges in the relays, and touch on hurdles. All events will be modified to accommodate the athlete’s physical abilities at their respective age groups.
Camp will run from 9:30 to 11:30 at the Byron High School Track
Camp cost includes a t-shirt. To get a t-shirt of the correct size, registration should be completed by May 20th. The camp will be held at the track and in the Middle School Gym in the event of inclement weather. We may also use Thursday the 6th as a make-up date for the Meet Day only.
