When and where are practices?

Fall training is generally held:

Sundays (beginning in October)
4:30 PM – 5:45 PM
McKinley High School

​

Fall training primarily focuses on General Physical Preparation (GPP) and Speed Development. GPP is the foundation-building phase of training, designed to prepare athletes for the more intense and event-specific work that comes later in the season.

Training will include:

  • Speed development and acceleration

  • Running and sprint mechanics

  • Wicket drills to improve rhythm, posture, ground contact, stride mechanics, and efficient force application

  • Strength, mobility, coordination, and general power development

  • Plyometrics and body control

  • Sprint-specific drills and technical development

  • Performance testing and measurement to establish benchmarks and track athlete progress throughout the training cycle

Testing may include timed sprints, acceleration splits, maximum-velocity measurements, and other performance metrics as appropriate. The purpose is to give coaches and athletes objective data to evaluate progress and identify areas for continued development.

The goal during the fall is not to peak athletes for competition. Instead, we are building the physical and technical foundation needed to become faster, stronger, more efficient, and better prepared for event-specific training and the upcoming competition season.

​

There may be specific training days assigned for throws, jumps, hurdles, and other specialty events depending on coach availability, facility access, athlete needs, and the competition calendar.

Practice schedules may be adjusted based on facility availability, weather, meet schedules, athlete development needs, and championship preparation.

​​

Is USATF membership required?

For general training, USATF membership may not always be required.
