as partiociopate in activities that will create a climate of motivation that will increase
the level of self esteem that can be developed off of the track.
-
All
students will have access to a diverse population of mentors (i.e.,
college students, older team members, coaches, community and parents).
-
The
services that are offered to our children will allow Central Texas Elite Track
Club to be utilized as a community service organization to decrease the
high statistics of teen pregnancy, drug abuse, and high school or college
drop outs. The club has youth participating from the Austin area and also
Round Rock, Pflugerville, Rockdale, Manor and many other surrounding
cities and communities.
-
The
Central Texas Elite Track Club maintains a professional staff of board members,
administrators and coaching staff spanning over 30 years of experience,
knowledge, and skills, but we cannot do it alone. Participants are ages 6
to 18 and the club is particularly interested in providing an outlet for
at-risk youth. The summer track program provides an athletically
motivated outlet for youth to burn up that excess energy in a positive
manner on the track. This program not only encourages athletic
participation in track and field, but also helps each individual athlete
develop self-discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem, good sportsmanship
qualities, and they make many new friends.
-
The indoor
program specifically targeted for high school students, assists athletes
in keeping in shape and maintaining the competitive edge during the year.
It also gives visibility to these athletes that comes with attending three
meets that are supported by several major collegiate divisions.
-
The
ultimate goal through this program is to help each youth receive a
scholarship to an accredited university or college to continue his/her
education. Many of these youth will begin with the club at the age of 6
and continue until they are 18.
