General Program Description
This program area is for athletes aged 16 and up, and they train 5 or 6 days a week for 11 months of the year, typically mid September to mid August. Athletes have personal coaches and training plans in all of the various event areas. Training is usually specialized in the throwing events, sprinting and hurdling events, jumping events, distance/cross country events, and the combined events (decathlon & heptathlon).
Competitions
Senior Group Athletes take part in all local Saskatoon Track meets, our out of town competition trips, provincial championships, national championships they qualify for, and provincial teams they are invited to. The dates for the meets are located at the back of this booklet. If you have any questions about the meets please talk to your athletes coach.
STFC offers a subsidy on all travel trips including National Championships, with the club picking up 30% of the cost.
Fees
There is a set volunteer commitment for each athlete as well as the Track Membership Fees. The dollar amount for this commitment can be recouped once the required hours are completed.
