About Atlanta Track Club Track & Field Youth Team
Atlanta Track Club Track & Field Youth Team is open to kids in grades 4-8 of all ability and experience levels. Team members primarily train and compete in either sprinting or distance running, and are encouraged to try a variety of events including the throws, hurdles, and jumps.
