Cross Country Youth Team


About Atlanta Track Club Cross Country Youth Team
Atlanta Track Club Cross Country Youth Team is open to kids in grades 4-8 of all ability and experience levels. Our Cross Country Youth Team members develop the endurance, strength and speed needed to succeed in cross country and most other sports. Learning how to run with proper form, stretch correctly, set goals and overcome the physical and mental hills and valleys of running are a few of the healthy habits that will support team members physically and mentally throughout life.
