Highlands Track & Field Club

Highlands Track and Field Club Mission Statement:

The Highlands Track and Field Club is a not-for-profit volunteer-run developmental track club aimed at introducing fundamental sport skills and developing confident, healthy active human beings. By providing training, community and recreation and competitive opportunities for athletes aged 10-18, we will assist athletes in becoming the best version of themselves through challenges in sport and supporting their mental, physical, social and emotional development as athletes. We will aim to foster life skills and attributes like goal-setting, decision-making, resilience and positive metal health strategies through sport.

We will focus on fundamentals such as speed, stamina, skill, strength and flexibility guided by the principles of Long-Term Athlete Development. The proper mechanics of running will be taught as well as technique in the various disciplines of throwing, jumping and hurdling. We hope to facilitate athletes in finding joy in movement and celebration in improvements through a focus on Personal Bests.

We aim to create an inclusive and connected community of athletes where individual achievement is supported by positive team dynamics. We are excited to provide athletes and opportunity to training locally for sport in a co-ed community and develop a sense of pride and identity and self and our local club as well as provide opportunities for participation in competitive meets across Ontario.
