Success in cross country and track and field is built during the off-season. While off-season training is not required to be a part of the Desert Vista AIA season, it is highly recommended for athletes who want to improve, stay healthy, and compete at their best.
We offer organized off-season Distance and Sprints/Speed training through a USATF-affiliated club during both the summer and winter off-seasons. The primary focus of this training will be on developing aerobic conditioning to prepare for both cross country and track seasons. Athletes may also have opportunities to compete in track and field meets during the off-season, depending on readiness and interest. See Flyers below. Sign ups coming soon.
In addition, we may offer field event training for interested athletes through the club, focusing on technical development for events like jumps and throws.
