CTTC offers training and competition for both the novice and experienced athlete wishing to improve his/her performance. Participants will be encouraged to set and work toward personal goals. Emphasis will be placed on drills to improve form and technique; stretching to improve flexibility; and conditioning to improve strength, and aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Overall, the program will endeavor to foster a love for the sport of track & field and an appreciation for all individuals involved in the sport and their diverse personal characteristics and backgrounds, including ability, gender, age, and race or ethnic background. Safety, good sportsmanship, and a healthy work-ethic will be emphasized in all aspects of the program.

The CTTC recognizes that the sports of Track and Field and running are both “individual” and team sports. Athletes can work toward personal goals as well as contribute to a successful “team” performance. In addition, because track and field is a multi-age team sport, CTTC will encourage high school and college athletes to develop leadership skills and become role-models for younger participants during workouts and competitions.
