Goals to Attain our
Vision and Mission
-
Provide
a positive athletic environment for youth that not only encourages
and supports them to succeed on the track, and also in life.
-
Provide
an educational environment that is totally committed to preparing
each club member to perform successfully in their chosen educational
environment.
-
All
students will be afforded an opportunity to develop social skills as
well as participate in activities that will create a climate of
motivation that will increase the level of self esteem that can be
developed off of the track.
-
All
students will have access to a diverse population of mentors (i.e.,
college students, older team members, coaches, community and
parents).
-
The
services that are offered to our children will allow Central Texas
Elite Track Club to be utilized as a community service organization
to decrease the high statistics of teen pregnancy, drug abuse, and
high school or college drop outs. The club has youth participating
from the Austin area and also Round Rock, Pflugerville, Rockdale,
Manor and many other surrounding cities and communities.
-
The
Central Texas Elite Track Club maintains a professional staff of
board members, administrators and coaching staff spanning over 30
years of experience, knowledge, and skills, but we cannot do it
alone. Participants are ages 6 to 18 and the club is particularly
interested in providing an outlet for at-risk youth. The summer
track program provides an athletically motivated outlet for youth to
burn up that excess energy in a positive manner on the track. This
program not only encourages athletic participation in track and
field, but also helps each individual athlete develop
self-discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem, good sportsmanship
qualities, and they make many new friends.
-
The
indoor program specifically targeted for high school students,
assists athletes in keeping in shape and maintaining the competitive
edge during the year. It also gives visibility to these athletes
that comes with attending three meets that are supported by several
major collegiate divisions.
-
The
ultimate goal through this program is to help each youth receive a
scholarship to an accredited university or college to continue
his/her education. Many of these youth will begin with the club at
the age of 6 and continue until they are 18.
