About Us
We are experienced coaches from Birmingham who have a background in track and field and have competed at the collegiate level. As parents, we now have children who are involved in the sport and we are eager to share our love and enthusiasm for it with them. Over the past few years, we have coached kids in the Birmingham area on different teams. After careful consideration, we have made the decision to embark on the exciting journey of starting our own program.
Our aim is to mentor our athletes in a manner that not only enhances their athletic abilities, but also molds them into exemplary individuals. We will prioritize the development of their character alongside their proficiency in various disciplines of track and field, including sprints, long distance, hurdles, field events and more. Our objective is to instill a passion for the sport, foster respect for their peers and rivals, and cultivate a mindset that extends beyond the confines of the track and field they train on during practice.
