Track & Field

WBYA Summer Track & Field

The goal of our Track & Field program is to expose kids to the fun of track and field events, and help them develop a love of the sport. Here are the details:

We run two 6 week sessions meeting twice weekly for kids 3-11, then one summer long session for kids 11-14, also meeting twice weekly. No pressure to attend every session...just get there when you can. We try to keep registration fees low knowing families may miss a session or two due to summer plans.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! We cannot run our programs without the help of folks like you willing to give their time and energy to the kids. No experience in track and field is required. We'll provide coaching materials. It's amazing what a difference you can make for these kids with just a little bit of your time. Please indicate your interest in helping out when you register. The plan is to have many helpers to make lighter work for all.

faqs & Resources

When are games and practices? Can I select a specific practice day/time?

For all of our sports, practice and games schedules are not determined until a week or two prior to the start of the season. We keep registration open as long as possible to allow as many kids as possible to play. Upon closing registration, teams are assembled quickly with practice/game schedules created soon after. With some sports, you’re able to request a practice night. We do our best to honor these requests, but can’t make any guarantees.

Where do practice and games take place?

Can I help coach?

Do you offer travel programs?

Can I request that my child be on the same team with their friends? Can I request a specific coach?

We certainly recognize how busy families are these days and that carpooling is helpful…and that many kids want to play with their friends. In our recreational league, our first priority is creating fair and equal teams to ensure an enjoyable experience for all the kids. For some of our programs, we do accept teammate requests…one per player. When it’s possible to make this request, you’ll see this field as part of the registration when you register your child. We do our best to accommodate teammate and coach requests, but we can’t always make it work, so no guarantees. When it doesn’t work out, it’s usually a nice way for the kids to make new friends!

I missed the registration deadline. Can I still sign up my child?

I registered my child and they are now unable to play. Can I get a refund?
