The Registration "Track" is not currently available.

General Information

HGRA Track is a co-ed program focused on teaching the fundamental athletic skills in an environment that emphasizes participation, learning, and having fun.  There is something for everyone in track whether it be running, jumping, or throwing, but doing all three will make you a triple threat! The program is structured to help a young athlete progress through each age group and try new things in practice to help each individual grow and improve. 

The Spring program also provides 4-5 track meets to its participants, free of charge, which allows all athletes the opportunity to compete in a setting that focuses on personal improvement, having fun with teammates, and enjoying the thrill of competition.  The Track meets are always a highlight of the season.

PROGRAM NOTES:

  • EARLY SIGN-UP RECOMMENDED: THE YOUNGER AGE GROUPS FILL FAST AND HAVE LIMITED SPACES.
  • Track practice continues for 10 weeks, every Monday and Wednesday.
  • No practice on Memorial Day.
  • Sign-up for both Monday and Wednesday practices for only one fee.
  • Teams will vary per age group but teams are generally limited to 20 per team.  Some age groups will have up to 5 teams, others will have 2 teams.  The teams will practice at different times (either early on Monday and late on Wednesday or vice versa) on a rotating schedule. There is the Gazelles schedule and the Cheetahs schedule and you can select your preference within the registration. Both Gazelles and Cheetahs offer at least one team within each age groups, unless there are uneven numbers.
  • Use the buddy request on the registration form to make sure you have all family members/friends on the same team/practice schedule.
  • If you are interested in being a Head Coach or Assistant Coach, please sign up to be a Track Practice Coach or Track Practice Assistant during the registration process.
  • Please sign up to be a Home meet volunteer during the registration process.  We need your help at all our Track Meets to make them a great experience for everyone!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
 

  • Track practice will be at Highland High School Track
  • Bring a water bottle to all practices and meets.
  • Wear lace-up well fitting running shoes.
  • HGRA Track shirts will be provided and need to be worn at Track Meets for recording purposes.  It also helps to wear the shirts during the first month of practice as everyone is getting to know each other.

Cancelled Practice/Meet due to Severe Weather:

In the case of heavy rain, storms or excessive heat, an email will be sent from the HGRA website, no later than 1 hour before the practice or meet is scheduled to start.
