About CYA T&F / XC

"Where kids come first!"

At Catoctin Youth Association Track & Field and Cross Country, we have a simple philosophy that guides everything we do:

"It’s all about the Kids!"

Our program is about much more than running fast, jumping far, throwing farther, or crossing a finish line. We want every young athlete to have the opportunity to learn, improve, compete, make friends, build confidence, and discover what they are capable of accomplishing.

We welcome athletes of all experience and ability levels. Some join us with dreams of winning races and competing at the highest level. Others want to try something new, become more active, spend time with friends, or challenge themselves. There is a place for all of them in our program.

We work to create a positive and encouraging environment where athletes learn the fundamentals of Track & Field and Cross Country while developing teamwork, perseverance, responsibility, sportsmanship, confidence, and respect for others.

We also believe success looks different for every athlete. It may be winning a race, setting a personal best, completing a new distance, learning a new event, overcoming a fear, or simply having the courage to step onto the starting line. Every one of those accomplishments matters.

We want our athletes to compete hard and strive to improve, but winning will never be more important than the young people we are coaching. Our goal is to help kids grow, have fun, develop friendships, create great memories, and hopefully build a lifelong appreciation for running, fitness, and athletics.

And boy, do we have FUN!

If you have any questions, just drop us an email. We look forward to having your family as a part of our team!

Sincerely,

Coach John
