Practices are Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 pm and Sundays from 6:00-7:30 pm at the DCG High School Stadium. DCG middle school and high school teams have priority in terms of facilities. Note that 7th-12th grade athletes do not practice or compete with the DCG Track Club until the completion of the middle or high school track season.
Athletes should arrive with a positive attitude prepared to practice. Athletes should bring a water bottle and wear comfortable workout clothes/running shoes to practices. Track spikes should not be worn to practices.
Athletes are divided based upon event emphasis to provide specific training for sprints, middle distance and long distance. All athletes will have the option to practice jump and throw related field events on Sundays from 7:00-7:30 pm. Please note that separate grade based training groups may be formed depending upon the number of athletes present at practices.
