La Crosse Track Club Youth Summer Program
About this race
The La Crosse Track Club is a six-week summer youth track and field program for athletes ages 6-18 of all abilities.
2026 Practice Dates: June 9 - July 16 on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00-7:15 pm at La Crosse Logan High School.
The Grades 1-5 program offers an age-specific track and field youth experience, and will include exposure to sprints, distance running, and field events – focusing on fundamentals in a fun and engaging way.
Grades 6-12 will also have broad opportunities for most events in track and field, but will allow the athletes to focus in their area(s) of interest. Coach availability for individual areas may vary from practice to practice but every effort will be made to regularly offer all events including sprints, distance, hurdles, jumps, and throws. A dedicated pole vault group also continues to be offered in 2025.
Local track mini-meets for athletes ages 6-14 are tentatively scheduled for Friday mornings on June 26th (@ Galesville) and July 10th (@ Onalaska). New this year we plan to host a mini inter-squad competition during the last week of practice (exact details TBD). Participation in the Track Club program is a requirement for athlete eligibility for these local summer meets. Additional competition venues for athletes of ALL ages are available with USATF, AAU, and Badger State Games. More information on these meets will be published once received.
Due to increased cost of insurance, background checks, and to keep quality coaches this year we are offering a registration option called Supporter with a slightly higher dollar amount. If you select this option your extra money will be going to help us continue a quality summer program at a low cost for families that need it.
