PHILOSOPHY 

Our goal is to have fun learning about track and field while improving our fitness and skill levels in the areas of FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTH, AND EXPLOSION. Track and field is a sport in which personal achievement is just as important as team achievement, and by improving yourself, you improve the team.

PRACTICES 

Attendance will be taken at practices, and you must attend practices to participate in meets. 

Practices will be at Canton-Galva Junior/Senior High School.  High school and junior high school practices will begin at 3:30.  Junior high school will finish practice at 5:00 when a bus will be provided to transport Galva students back to the elementary school.  High school will finish practice around 5:30.
