Welcome to JYAA Track Registration!

The JYAA Track aims to introduce participants to different types of running, incorporate fun activities associated with running, learn the different techniques needed to compete in field events and be a better and faster overall athlete. The program has a heavy focus on acceleration, proper running form, max velocity training, speed development, and plyometrics. The JYAA Track season begins in early May and ends in late June. Practice includes daily plans for 60 minutes of physical activity (i.e. running drills, dynamic warm-up, running, games, and post-workout stretching) to be implemented each week. Our goal is to run 4-6 track meets beginning in late May and ending in late June. Athletes will learn about and experience hands-on activities relating to different areas of running, jumping, and throwing. JYAA Track is open to participants who have completed grades K-6. Practices are held at the Johnstown HS track.
