Programs

**In addition to registering with the Rec, PLEASE REGISTER WITH GRANITE STATE TRACK & FIELD separately. See program notes/email confirmation for details.

Join Coaches Dave Robart and Sarah Calderone for this fun-filled program! Granite State Track and Field is a quality recreation program where children have fun and are introduced to physical fitness through basic track and field events such as running, jumping and throwing. This program is primarily for Rochester residents; however, we will accept participants from towns that do not run their own GSTF program.

Thank you to Rochester's own Collins Sports Center for generously sponsoring our track shirts!

AGES: 9–14-year-olds
NOTE: 14-year-olds CANNOT BE 15 before December 31, 2025 (Ex: if your child is 14 today, but turns 15 on Dec 13 of this year, they will not qualify). 8-year-olds are accepted into the program if they WILL BE 9 before December 31, 2025.
