TRACK PROGRAM

Our program purpose was to build a foundation for the future youths by uniting community youth with safe training of track and field related activities. We promote principals of good sportsmanship and develop educational and athletic achievement by providing beneficial services that build the skills, civility and self-confidence necessary to succeed in a competitive world. We are members of USAT&F and AAU organizations.

The track program mission is to promote track and field year round that provides youths in the Washington Metro Area with a recreational activity. This will help them to achieve physical and mental fitness and discipline. Most importantly, it will expose our youths to national competition and inspire them to dare to dream of one day representing the United States of America in the Olympic Games.

BYO Track operates developmental programs in which children compete at level, which is best suited for their ability and attitude. Our athletes compete in recreational meets, local developmental meets, AAU and USATF Junior Olympic meets as well as various Regional and National Championships.
