Track & Field / Cross Country: ages and seasons

Typical starting ages
Youth track clubs often take athletes from about age 6 or 7, grouped by age divisions.
Seasons
Cross country is mostly a fall sport. Outdoor track runs in spring and summer, with some indoor meets in winter.
National organizations

General orientation only. Every program sets its own ages, fees and calendar.

How to choose a track and field program

  • Clubs and travel teams usually hold tryouts or evaluations. Ask about the total season cost (dues, uniforms, travel and tournament fees), how often they practise and compete, and how playing time is decided.
  • Check that coaches have passed background checks and current safety training (for example SafeSport and concussion awareness).
  • Confirm the age or grade rules and any birth-year cutoff before paying.
  • Each listing shows its source and last-updated date. Contact the program directly, and if you run it, claim the listing or suggest an edit to fix the details.

About these listings. Listings come from public sources. IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File: nonprofits in the recreation and sports group with a recent filing, whose registered name identifies them as track and field programs. Their city is the registered mailing address, and their category is inferred from the name. Each listing shows its source and when that record was last updated. Listings marked “Confirmed by program” were checked with the program; a listing is not an endorsement. Always confirm ages, fees and tryouts with the program.
