LEHIGHTON ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB

LABC Track and Field

Registration is open from March 1, 2025 through April 7, 2025. Late registration will only be allowed for returning athletes.

Draft for new athletes will be held during the week of April 7th, so, the coaches have time to contact their team.

Practices will begin April 14, 2025. Times of practices are 6pm-7:30pm for Monday through Friday.

Track Meet Date is May 31, 2025.

***Practices are not mandatory for the Track and Field program. We as coaches understand that there are a good number of young athletes that use track and field as a second sport. We have expanded the number of practices available to these athletes for this season to see if it works out better for them to obtain the minimum number of practices, 8, in order to participate the day of the Meet. Please, understand as in any sport, the more practices your child makes, the more success they will have on an individual level. ***
