Youth Track Starts Sunday!

Youth program, the most fun for conditioning kids!

Does your child play soccer or football? 
Do they want to play sports with their friends but lack confidence in their athletic abilities? 
Do you wish that they could start their fall season well conditioned and fast? 
Do you wish they had a competitive edge? (Did you see the Book of Hinsdale??)

Well, the Chicago Flyers don't have an Olympic Training Arena but we are the best program to get your athlete active, conditioned, fast and injury free while having fun. Practices are 5 days per week, Sunday-Thursday, May 26-July 17. Cost is $225-$325. Professional coaches work with kids 5-18 years old, utilizing the most current training methods for track & field.  The athletes spend the summer as a team with kids from 8 local communities and go back to their schools refreshed and in the very best condition, not to mention with 70 new friends.  Practices are creative and vary greatly.  Speed, conditioning, agility, balance, kettlebells, bands, parachutes, core (not crunches) running mechanics, games, contests, journaling, team values, track practices, a few offsite adventures, waterguns. We can't tell all of our secrets!  It is amazing how much a child can run when it is disguised in a game! It is amazing how many kids want to go to practices every day!  We even stoop so low as to periodically bribe them with candy, but rarely. Each week we have a team value and athletes are nominated for awards by their peers.  Shockingly, there are even track meets!

We take the training of your kids seriously and we also feel that we provide the most creative, fun structured program available. Find out if it is true!
