The BlackWatch Track team started in the summer of 2022, led by former collegiate track sprinter, Coach KD Howard.
This program is for youth and adult athletes of all experience levels. In addition to track and field fundamentals and max velocity training, practices include strength programs, core conditioning, and flexibility sessions to maximize performance and minimize injury risk. We believe that every athlete deserves the best possible training experience, and our coaches are ready to provide that. All of our athletes in this program have the additional support from Vulcan Performance Rehabilitation and Recovery to focus on injury prevention as well as providing opportunities for services that aid in keeping our athletes healthy during their training.
Youth: 6-18 | Open Masters: 19-23

There are select meets that allow for toddler races and coach/parent relays. These will be announced prior to those meets so that if others want to participate. Registration fees would apply for the meet.
BlackWatch is excited to announce that we are starting an indoor track program for athletes who want to complete in both the winter and summer of just the winter months. Stay tuned for more information coming soon!
The BlackWatch Speed Academy includes 7 training sessions between March & April for 90 minutes on Mondays. This program is focused on building base strength and running form & technique. These practices will be located at BlackWatch Sports Performance on HWY 280.
Practices begin in May of each year, and we compete in 4-5 outdoor meets between the end of May, June & July. A majority of the meets are in June. Practices are typically 2 times a week (Mondays & Wednesdays at 6:30) except for meet weeks where we use Fridays to work on starts, field events, clean up hurdle form and possible shake out runs. We do not hold practices the week of July 4th.
