2025 KELLER WESTSIDE TRACK

                                  INFORMATION PACKET    

         

Welcome to the KELLER WESTSIDE SUMMER TRACK & FIELD Team (TAAF Region 4). In this packet, you will find helpful information concerning the Keller Westside Summer Track program. 

​

Keller Westside Track Team is made up of dedicated track & field coaches. Our goal is to help young kids develop into upstanding adults while teaching track & field fundamentals. We at Keller Westside Track will do the utmost to give your child skills they will carry with them throughout their lives. 

​

Goals and Objectives - Our goal is for each child to improve their speed and overall conditioning while having fun participating in track and field. This can only be accomplished through consistent participation in practices and meets.

​

Practices will be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 6 - 7pm  TBA If you would like to try a free practice before signing up to join our team, please come out to a practice and let us know you are interested.  After the 1st practice one of the coaches will talk to you about joining our team.

​

We HIGHLY recommend that children attend at least 2 of the 3 scheduled practices per week. We understand 3 practices a week is a lot and there are other things going on but since it is a short season the more practice your runner attends the more progress they will make in reaching their goals. Practices and meets are NOT mandatory however, the more meets you attend the more chances your runner will have to participate in events and the more progress your runner will see over the course of the season. 
 

Practice - Each child must bring a plastic bottle of cold water or sports drink with his or her name on it to each practice. Each child needs to arrive at practice on time to allow for proper warm-up and stretching prior to the workout.  Before we break for practice we must pick up our water bottles.  This is paramount. If we don’t KISD will not let us continue to use the facilities.

​

In case of inclement weather, follow us on Facebook @Keller Westside Track Team or contact Coach Frederick Cavitt at (817-714-1712) in regards to the status of practices and/or track meets. A REMIND101 group will also be created once the season is underway to allow for quick communication between all families.

 

Number of Events – Each participant may enter as many events as they desire in circuit meets. There is no limit.  The regional and state meets will conform to the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF) Cavalcade of Sports which states:  3 events including relays for the 8U, 10U, & 12U age groups, and 4 events including relays of which only 3 may be running events for ages 14U, 16U and 18U.  Relay participants will be determined by the coaches only ~ NO EXCEPTIONS!!!   You must have a TAAF athlete number before participating in regional events. We will register all athletes for their number and email it to you once registration is complete.
