The Club Northwest Junior Youth Team is for athletes age 4-8 who are interested in learning more about the sport of track and field and trying a variety of events.
Practices will be held Mondays and Fridays from 2:00-3:00 with athletes encouraged to attend the Wednesday Club Northwest All-Comers Meets. Practices start June 17 and end August 12.
Each member of the Junior Youth Team will receive a free Club Northwest youth-sized t-shirt or singlet (we are still working on the logistics of youth singlets).
Location
All practices will be held at Woolsey Stadium at King’s High School 19303 Fremont Ave North, Shoreline, WA. If you have never been there, it may be helpful to look at google maps to see where the track is on the campus.
Parking will be above the stadium, the first parking lot you encounter as you head toward the track.
Parents are welcome to stick around during practice and get their own workout in at the track or run on the on-campus trail system.
Coach
All practices are coached by Rod Wilcox, who has been coaching track and cross country at King’s High School for over 25 years. Rod was a high jumper at the University of Washington who went on to have a successful athletic career as a masters decathlete.
Rod’s experience in both coaching and competing in all of the track and field disciplines gives him a well-rounded background that allows him to provide knowledgeable coaching to the youth team.
Rod brings a very positive attitude to practice and is ready to help the athletes achieve their personal goals, whether it involves competing at championship summer meets, setting personal bests at the all-comers meets, or just trying different events to see what they like best.
