World Athlete Indoor Track Academy (ages 3-14)

Starting January 4, the 6th Annual World Athlete Indoor Track Academy will be held at Moorestown HS Athletic Center.

Children age 3-14 are welcome to participate. All skill levels are welcome to join the fun. Children are coached in sprinting, hurdling, jumping, relays, throwing events and conditioning.  The indoor track academy consists of three training nights and three community track meets. Children that cannot attend the entire academy are welcome to enter the community track meets that are open to the public. Children may enter as many events as they like. Events include (for most meets) the 40M,  200M , 400M,  800M,  Mini Hurdles,  Relays,  3lb Modified Shot Put, and Jumps. Each athlete receives a World Athlete ribbon. Race winners are awarded with World Athlete blue ribbons. Door prizes are given out throughout the meet. Preregistration for the meets is strongly suggested.

Additional information and registration forms are available at www.worldathlete.net.  Questions about the program and meets can be sent to coach@worldathlete.net.
