Track & Fitness Fall 2025 Season

Westport PAL Track & Fitness Program

Open to Boys and Girls | Grades K - 8 | All athletic levels are welcome

PAL youth athletic programs are dedicated to enriching the lives of young people through track and field.

Our goal is to provide each athlete with an opportunity for personal achievement.


2025 Season Information

The Fall Track and Fitness program emphasizes general strength and fitness development for young athletes. We introduce essential exercises and drills in a relaxed, goal-oriented environment, focusing on fundamentals common to track and field.

What we cover;

  • Dynamic warm-up and preparation techniques
  • Basic running drills and proper mechanics
  • Aerobic and anaerobic conditioning
  • Hip mobility stations and sensory training
  • Jump circuits and general strength development
  • Time trials in sprinting, distance running, and jumping events

This is a great program for young athletes with an interest in the sport, fitness training in a relaxed setting, and current competing track athletes.

Since the inception of the program, several participants have been great contributors to the Staples High varsity program. Many have gone on to become FCIAC Conference champions, State Champions, and New Balance and Nike National Qualifiers.
