The 6th grade co-ed track club was a huge hit! We had 60 participants who practiced three times weekly, for 8 weeks. They learned proper high jump, long jump, hurdle, sprint, mid-distance, and shot put techniques.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

The Panther Track Club was able to purchase (thanks to our Fuel Up to Play 60 grant and the Detroit Lions) a wide array of track and field equipment, which will allow us to continue to offer the club to hundreds of our students for years to come.
