MNF's knowledgeable and positive approach to youth athletic development offers children an engaging, fun, and dynamic way to learn about the sport of track and field.  Practices are designed using a "learn by doing" format and meets are encouraged but not mandatory.  To encourage development toward meets, we host 3-4 inter-club "mini-meets" throughout the season.  (Athletes in grades 4-5 who have previous experience with us are encouraged to consider our Intermediate level.)

MNF provides a structured yet fun, age-appropriate "learning to train" format designed for 6th graders and 4-5th graders who have prior experience with us or greater experience in other competitive sports.  Due to seasonal family schedules, meet participation is encouraged but not included.  (Athletes in grades 4-5 who have not previously participated in track and field or another competitive sport are asked to join our Developmental level.)

Athletes are offered a focused training structure to develop skill levels, prepare for the outdoor season, and enhance the competitive edge.  Elite development is automatically included in our competitive format, and participation in meets is highly encouraged to promote progress but is not included with registration due to individual athlete weekend schedules during the winter.  You WILL progress in this sport through training with our Competitive level.
