JUNIOR MAVERICKS USATF TEAM
The goal of our competitive team program is to give youth athletes extensive training for competition in track and cross country as well as prepare for high school athletics. We compete at sanctioned USATF track and cross country meets throughout San Diego Imperial Region 15. Our three seasons develop runners with Spring/Summer focusing on track & field, and Fall focusing on cross country and Winter on pre track season conditioning & fitness.
Our training helps youth athletes stay in great physical condition during off season of other sports. We have athletes from many other disciplines who train with us including soccer, baseball, tennis & golf. Your student doesn't have to join Jr. Mavericks as a top or experienced runner - we will help them develop their best potential!
We have runners who started with Jr. Mavericks and went on to run with top NCAA programs at Stanford, Oregon, BYU, UCLA and more! Being on the team gives students a chance to become a better individual athlete in general as well as in a team setting - we want to make a difference!
