Youth Programs
Summer Track & Field
For ages 5 - 14
Windham Summer Track & Field will be a modified program in 2021, and will follow all community sports guidelines. Summer Track will be offered for youth ages 5-14 on Monday and Wednesday evenings from June 21st through August 11th. Participants will be given the opportunity to develop skills in both running and some field events (including javelin, shot put, long jump and discus.) The focus of the program will be on skills and drills for the 2021 season.
 
While we will not participate in the 2021 USATF track program due to onerous COVID-19 testing requirements, there is a possibility of joining a local meet with neighboring communities. More information about such a meet, including the date and cost, will be communicated to parents during the summer track season.

Registration open May 10 at 8:00 am.
