Who, when, where and why?

Helena Novas, a USATF member club, offers its youth track and field program to Helena-area residents between the ages of 7 and 18. Our mission is to develop individual athletic skills, foster personal growth, improve health and wellness, and pursue competitive track and field in an optimal training environment. All experience and ability levels are welcome. Our older athletes often serve as mentors for younger participants. To ensure the club is accessible to as many children as possible, we go above and beyond to keep registration costs low. 

Out of respect for middle school and high school coaches and athletes, we limit our practices to athletes who have already completed their scholastic seasons.

Beginning May 30, we will conduct practice on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday each week from 5:15-6:45 p.m. at Helena Vigilante Stadium (Helena Middle School). We do not require attendance at every practice, but strongly encourage participants to attend AT LEAST two training sessions per week, which allows us to encourage and monitor development and strengthen relationships with participants.
