middle school

The middle school program is designed for rising 6th-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. 

We believe that all athletes, regardless of their future events, should build a base of solid running mechanics and speed development. We emphasize fundamentals, proper sprinting mechanics, and introduction to strength training to promote long-term development and resilience.

Regarding specific event focus, we will provide specialized coaching and training tailored to their chosen disciplines. 

The middle school program runs three days per week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) and is offered in three seasons: summer, fall, and winter.

FAQs

  • Lipscomb Academy’s Football and Track Complex located at 1027 Caldwell Lane, Nashville, TN 37204

  • Girls and boys in rising 7th-12th grades who are excited to commit to Tennessee Track Club’s training philosophies and are eager to be the best that they can be.

  • High school athletes are expected to commit for nine months, from June through the end of February. Meaningful improvement takes time, and consistent training is the best way to achieve lasting results. 

  • Pricing varies based on the level of training (MS or HS) and commitment throughout the year. Costs include coaching fees, insurance, gear, meet registration, facility rental, food at meets, and travel expenses for out-of-town meets (high school athletes only– contact Anna for details on travel). 

  • 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.

  • The high school club schedule will begin in June and go through the end of February of the following calendar year. We will take a 5 week break in August and the first week of September.
