SHERWOOD YOUTH TRACK AND FIELD
Thank you for choosing Sherwood Youth Track Club. We are excited for the 2026 season! Registration will open in early January 2026 with the season officially starting in mid-March.
About Us
Sherwood Youth Track Club (SYTC) is a locally based track program out of Sherwood, Oregon that is associated with USATF and supports youth athletes ages 6-18. Our program is founded on principles of positivity, respect, safety, discipline, and teamwork, creating an environment where young athletes can truly excel and build confidence.
Youth can gain experience in multiple track discipline areas, including jumping, throwing, hurdling, sprinting and long-distance running. Coaches are volunteers and have a wide range of experience, from past collegiate track athletes to parent athletes. Sherwood Youth Track has a history of success with athletes achieving their own personal goals and some even reaching state, regional and national championships.
This program is connected but separate from the High School and Middle School programs. Athletes can participate in this youth club program in addition to the other programs if desired.
Upcoming Season Information
Practices are held at the Sherwood Middle School (SMS) stadium track with the first practice being on Tuesday, March 10th. Practices always start at 5:30pm with differing finish times based on age and field event participation as shown below. Field events will not practice until after Spring Break, so all practices will end at 6:45 pm until the first week of April.

Registration is $160 per athlete. You will receive an invoice with instructions on how to pay when registering. If you have multiple athletes, please fill out the form multiple times. There is a discount for multiple family members
We are looking for more volunteer coaches, no experience needed! The more help we have, the more athletes we can accept! Children of coaches also get a 50% discount on their registration for their time.
Meets will start at the end of April. Meets are optional, but we encourage kids to participate, and they can do as many or as few as they would like. We especially encourage everyone to participate in our home meet, where there is no registration cost for SYTC members. For away meets, the cost is $20 to participate per meet. We will post the schedule once it is finalized. Some meets will be Friday night/Saturday morning or just all-day Saturday. Our home meet is a major fundraising event for our club so as part of registering, each family is expected to provide at least one volunteer. More info to come.
Uniforms - Included in your registration is a dry fit shirt that can be used for competitions.
We will close the registration once we hit capacity, which will depend on how many coaches we have.
