HIS GRACE
MY GIFT HIS GLORY
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!!!
THE PRIDE
Humble Pride Track is a club based on the far eastside of Indianapolis that is proud to offer rising 3rd grade through 12th graders an opportunity to participate in Track and Field. Our focus will be on character development, fun and competition.
The season is broken up into 2 parts, REGULAR season and POSTseason. The regular season is all relatively local meets sponsored by the Indiana Youth Track Association (IYTA) where your athlete has the opportunity to use what they’ve learned in practice and go compete against hundreds of athletes their age from a variety of other track clubs. These are very competitive meets and it will prepare your child for the postseason if that's what you choose for them to do. Generally regular season consists of 4 meets which take place at the end of May and throughout the month of June.
Post season is where your child's hard work is displayed on a state, regional and possibly national level. Your athlete will be at the USATF State Meet. If they advance, they will move on to the Regional meet and then off to Nationals when they qualify.
For the past 3 seasons, the Humble Pride track program has been a great introduction to those who have an interest in the great sport of track and field. Our program is also a great opportunity for those middle school and high school athletes to continue their development beyond their school seasons.
