The EAA Track & Field program is proud to be recognized as one of the best youth track programs in Minnesota. We have an amazing 870+ children from grades K-6 participating in our program this year! The tradition continues and we are looking forward to another fantastic track season.
The EAA Track & Field program aims to introduce and promote the sport of track and field within Eagan and our surrounding community. Our mission is to stress the importance of team, friendship and sportsmanship in the track and field experience.
Our season consists of five meets and typically a minimum of one practice per week. Running and field events evolve as your child grows through the program. Our goal is for each child to participate in one field event and up to three races each meet. This aids in their skill development and also stimulates their interest and enthusiasm in track.
Kindergarten - 3rd Grade: Teams are formed based on coach and individual request and school. Every effort is made to keep children enrolled in a specific school on the same team. If there are too many athletes from a specific school to fit on one team, the athletes are split as evenly as possible between two teams.
4th - 6th Grade: Teams are formed based on a ranking system from previous season results. This takes into consideration the overall performance of returning athletes to help create evenly balanced teams. School, coach, and individual requests are generally not taken into account and may not be honored with these grade levels. It is the final decision of the Track Director to approve formation of these teams.
Note: As this is a recreational program, athletes are not allowed to compete at a higher level (i.e. 3rd grader on a 4th grade team, etc.)
