This program is associated with the Maine Recreation and Park Association (MRPA) Track & Field Program whose mission is to provide a quality recreation program where children have fun while being introduced to physical fitness through basic track and field events such as running, jumping and throwing. We will host 5 practices after school and participants will have the opportunity to compete in a local, regional and state meet if they choose (transportation is not included). This fun program is a good introduction to the summer USATF competitive program offered in Gorham. Events include the following:
50, 100, 200, 400, 800 meter dash
4 x 100 meter relay
standing long jump
softball/javelin throw
We need parent volunteers to help out, especially for meets – no experience necessary! Please fill out a volunteer application located on our website.
