TRACK HOUSTON YOUTH TRACK CLUB TRAINING YOUTH ACADEMICALLY AND ATHLETICALLY! At Track Houston, we believe that high performance in the classroom yields well-rounded, star athletes on the field. We expect each athlete to pursue academic achievement first…and athletic honors second. At Track Houston, we believe that excellence is the standard and not the goal. We also realize, not every athlete performs at the same level— on and off the field. We believe every child can succeed with available resources, information, and support. Through the leadership of our very own Academic Coach Brenda Foster and through the community’s support of the Thornton Smith Scholarship Fund, we are able to offer the Track Houston Academic Support and Enrichment Program to every athlete. Whether an athlete stays with us a season or ten seasons, we hope to better prepare them for a future, which includes confidence, performance, achievement and integrity. The Track Houston Academic Support and Enrichment Program benefits our youth through: ● Scholarship/Financial Aid Assistance ● College Preparatory Seminars –Youth through Senior Division Athletes ● Tutorials (SAT/ACT; TAKS; STANFORD TESTING) ● Homework Assistance ● Resume Writing/Interviewing Skills ● College Site Visits ● Career Counseling ● Cultural Outings/Field Trips At Track Houston, we invest our time with our youth wisely. Our Academic Support and Enrichment Program, five (5) months of focused athletic training and academic support, provides our athletes the resources and tools necessary to excel in their middle and high school programs. Many of our graduating athletes earn university athletic and academic scholarships, from large universities to small private schools to junior colleges. Our belief…if an athlete wishes to continue their athletic career, we will assist them in finding the post secondary environment which complements them in location, size, field of study and academic rigor. We further provide scholarship readiness through NCAA Clearinghouse guidance and access to many, many university track programs. At Track Houston, with our educational, enrichment focus, we deliver top-notch athletes…on and off the field.
