Fall Conditioning is the DVTFC running and conditioning program focusing on developing good running mechanics, building stamina and core strength, and improving speed endurance. It is for both new / inexperienced runners and track athletes interested in shorter distances (sprints, middle distance).
Being willing to follow coaching instructions and work hard will result in noticeable running form and fitness improvement by the end of the program. Workouts will be adjusted / modified based on a runner's age, ability and fitness.
The 2025 DVTFC Fall Conditioning (F-C) season begins Tuesday, August 26 and ends Sunday, November 2.
Program
Open to boys and girls age 9 - 15 (younger and older athletes accepted with coaches approval), both experienced and beginners, who primarily prefer running shorter distances. (up to 800M)
Practices/Workouts
Practices are:
One practice day per week may move to Larkey Park (5 minutes from PHMS) in October to allow more workout options. All practice times and locations will be listed on the "Calendar" section of the DVTFC website.
Meets/Competitions
There are NO meets, since Track is a Spring/Summer sport and there are no field event workouts in this program. A season-ending 'time trial' is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, November 2.
Fees
a) $350 for the first athlete.
b) $75 discount each additional sibling athlete.
Program fees cover all insurance, coaches stipends, supplies, and facilities permits. Participation is at the discretion of DVTFC and its coaches.
