Practice schedule depends on field allocation from Loudoun Parks and Rec. We always aim for Tuesday/Thursday practices at an area middle school, typically Lunsford in South Riding. Practice starts after spring break depending on weather. The season ends around the end of the school year. We will have one weekend practice at an area high school in the first third of the season followed by two competitive regional meets in the remaining time. Practices are lead by professional trainers.
As always,
for any additional information. Our aim is always to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all athletes while still providing one of the best levels of quality instruction in the area.

Our goal is to offer two options for participants:
Junior Track
A program geared for younger runners for grades 1st to 3rd. Runners will attend one practice a week and the focus will be on running, sprinting, and relays. An introduction to jumping will also be included. Field events and hurdles will not be a focus. Junior Track will meet once a week with instruction provided by TrueAP. Please email
if you are interested in volunteering.
