Track & Field

The track program is offered to all students in Kindergarten to 8th grade who are members of St. Albert the Great Parish or attend our school. Our season usually runs from the first week of March through mid-June. Meets take place on Saturdays or Sundays starting late March with Championship meets in May and June. An athlete does NOT have to participate in every meet every week to be part of our team, although, it is encouraged for the success of our team. We understand there are other sports this time of year and this is a great 2nd sport for the busy athlete with some flexibility.

The group each athlete competes in depends on their grade and date of birth.

• Varsity Track is offered for 3rd – 8th graders (with three different age groups)
  • Cadet division is for all 7th and 8th graders (with a specific birth date cutoff)
  • Minor division is for 5th, 6th, & 7th graders (with specific birth date cutoff)
  • Novice division is for 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders (with specific birth date cutoff)
• There is a Bantom division offered to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders (with specific birth date cutoff).

Practices will be held at Murray Ave Track 550 Red Lion Rd, Lower Moreland, PA.  All practice is outside, so please dress for the weather, bring water, and make sure your child has a good pair of running shoes.

New this year – We will have two levels of registration based off recent history.

Practice Team (aka non-competitive team) – This will be offered to K thru 3rd graders and will include one practice per week and an end of season race. These students will not compete in our meets against other schools.

Competitive Team – which is our traditional team of attending 2 practices and meets. This will continue to be offered to K thru 8th grade.
