Track & Field - Summer Youth Program
The Westbrook Community Center will again offer a Summer Track & Field program for children ages 6-15, beginning Monday, June 25, and running thru Saturday, August 11.
Practices will be held at Westbrook High School every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, except for July 4. Meets will be held each Thursday at local tracks.
Chelsey Merrill and his coaching staff will teach the proper forms and techniques for the following track & field events: Sprints, Distance Runs, Relays, Hurdles, Long Jump, High Jump, Discus, Javelin, Shot Put and Pole Vault. Even if you’re not a runner, there are plenty of events for you to try!
This year’s registration fee will be $70 (residents) and $80 (non-residents). The fee will include a Westbrook Summer Track & Field t-shirt, membership to USA Track & Field (USATF), transportation costs, fees to compete in five developmental meets, the qualifying meet on August 2, and the state championship meet on August 11, should you qualify.
Bus transportation will be provided to and from Westbrook High School to all meets.
In addition, there will be a bus that picks up and drops off on days of practice and meets at the following locations, should parents need it: Westbrook Community Center on Bridge Street, St. Anthony’s Church on Brown Street and The Hamlet on Saco Street. Exact pick-up and drop-off times will be available at a later date.
Any child enrolled in the Westbrook Community Center's Traditional or Teen Adventure Summer Camp can enroll, too, but for an additional fee. They will be provided with daily transportation to and from the WHS Track.
