Spring Track Season

Valor TC youth TF is BACK!

We will be meeting weekly to train, race and build our event teams up on the road to USATF Regional Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships, USATF JO Championships and New Balance Nationals! All youth athletes 6-18 are invited to join our competitive training program which will meet 1 x per week to train for 12 weeks in and around Portland, ME and focused on developing speed, endurance, strength and good habits on our pursuits of competing on the regional and national stage.

Our training program has been committed to developing elite athletes since 2024 with Nora Schmidt of Portland winning the national title in steeplechase last summer alongside teammate and All-American thrower Jada Magnuson! Our training and coaching environment is a great space for athletes who want to continue to prove that training and fun can go hand-in-hand. Our athletes will experience significant growth as we prepare them to be confident, cool and calculated people in high pressure competitive moments. This skill will carrier over and equip them with tools to handle life’s greater hurdles. We are here to provide the absolute best athletic experience possible to our youth and make Maine proud!

We welcome athletes of all abilities, so if you are a brand new track and field athlete, you are as welcome here as an Olympic champion. Maybe we can help you get there.
