RUN West Texas Training Programs

RUNwtx is excited to bring a program to Amarillo for young track athletes to get in work throughout the year.  Whether you are in elementary, junior high, or high school, our goal is to develop the passion for track while continuing to build your running foundations as you get older.

RUNwtx Training | About

RUN West Texas is going to give your child the opportunity to train and compete. We will have trainings once a week in the Fall and Spring which are Monday nights where we will help develop the correct running technique, running stamina, and give your child the confidence to get out and perform in different running and field events. We will also host track meets for your child to compete in individually as well as a team. There will also be an opportunity for your child to compete outside of the Amarillo area. This program will have different levels of participation because we want this to be a program that fits all types of life schedules.

RUNwtx | Training Programs

Our training programs will get you ready for track programs throughout the year!  Trainings include written training plans and coached workouts.  Training workouts will be provided through SportsYou and helps you and our coaches keep up with your progress!  This will give you a chance to continue to grow even when not at track practice.  Trainings are designed with progressive training schedules and runners will train in breakout groups when applicable.  Different levels will have goals and self-workouts assigned.

ABOUT THE TRAINING

Trainings are based on commitment not on skill level.  Each kid will be pushed at their level when they are at training.

Interested in Coaching?

Thanks to all the coaches that have stepped up to help RUN West Texas get going and for those that will come our way.  Always looking for coaches that love helping young athletes in running (sprints/distance), jumping events, throwing events, hurdles, and relays.

We want to expand and continue to grow the Amarillo area but we are in need of coaches that can help as we continue to grow.  Please reach out and contact Charity Welps at 806-664-1831 if you would like to help.  A background check is required for coaching.
