our programs
middle school
The middle school program is designed for rising 7th and 8th grade boys and girls who want to elevate their track and field performance. As a preparatory program, our goal is to help young athletes develop a strong foundation that will set them up for success in high school and beyond. The middle school program allows for session drop-ins or a seasonal commitment.
1-on-1 Training
1-on-1 training offers athletes of any age and skill level to work directly with one of our coaches. Each session lasts one hour and is tailored to help athletes enhance their technical skills in specific events. For those not currently enrolled in our middle school or high school programs, we recommend committing to at least six weeks of 1-1 training to see significant improvement in results.
high school
The high school program is designed for rising 9th-12th grade boys and girls who are looking to maximize their talent in the sport of track and field. We welcome athletes who aspire to compete at the collegiate level as well as those who simply want to reach their full potential in high school. The high school program requires a minimum seasonal commitment.

Middle school athletes will not travel to any meets in the summer at this time. We will host 1-2 intrasquad meets at Lipscomb that will have official times and marks that they will participate in. High school athletes will go to meets in the summer. Those athletes that qualify for outdoor nationals in mid-June will travel to Philadelphia. Everyone else will participate in the intrasquad meet/s.

After the indoor season is over, athletes will practice with their respective high school teams. We do, however, always welcome club members to come and practice at Lipscomb with the Lipscomb Academy team, especially if the athlete is not being coached in an event that they are expected to compete in. Practice location should be worked out between the athlete, and/or the athlete’s parents, and their high school coach.
