New Track and Field Program For Summit Kids

SUMMIT, NJ — It's never too young to get into sports. A new Track and Field program for kids ages 3 to 5 begins this Saturday in Summit. Registration is still open.

The new Summit Department of Community Programs (DCP) Track and Field Squirts program will be held on Saturdays from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Summit Community Center on 100 Morris Ave. The program begins on April 29 and will continue through June 24.

Players will learn the fundamental skills of running, jumping and throwing through a series of activities and fun challenges. The cost is $175 for residents and $195 for non-residents.

“There are not many other sports programs like this for young children in our area,” explains Mark Ozoroski, Assistant Director of the DCP. “The Track and Field Squirts program gives children the opportunity to try out a new sport within a relaxed and comfortable setting. Many children start out here, get a feel for what they like, and end up progressing out onto the sports field as they grow older.”

To register or obtain more information on this program or other DCP programs, visit summitcommunityprograms.com or contact the DCP at 908-277-2932.
