The Owings Mills Track Club was started in March of 2002 as an affiliate of the Owings Mills Recreation and Parks Council. It is a competitive track and field club for boys and girls age 7-18.
We have approximately 100 children on the team each season, and a host of dedicated coaches with over 70 yrs of combined experience in Sprints, Jumps, Throws and Distance running.
All coaches and volunteers go through an extensive background check from both governing bodies of track and field (USATF and AAU) as well as the county parks and recreation council.

Programs
The Track & Field season is broken into two outdoor seasons, Spring and Summer, and a Winter Conditioning program:
The Spring outdoor track season begins in March and finishes the last weekend in May. Competition for the Spring season is typically within an hours drive, competing against teams in Maryland, Virginia and DC.
The Summer outdoor track season begins the first week in June and ends the first week in August at the culmination of the AAU Jr. Olympics. The Summer season is geared towards kids interested in competing against the best in the country and the focus is preparing for the Jr Olympic (JO) games.
Owings Mills Track Club offers a Winter conditioning program for returning athletes. This program is a 1 day per week conditioning session from January through mid March leading into outdoor season. There are no competitive meets.
- Parents and athletes should be prepared to compete in the national qualifiers, typically the entire month of June, and to travel to JO, typically anywhere in the country for a week of competition in the first week of August.
- For kids 7-14 (not in High School) who wish to compete in the Summer season, it is required that they sign up for the Spring season as well.
- For High school students wishing to sign up for the Summer season, it is required that they have competed on their high school team or competed in the past. Kids who sign up for Spring only will have an opportunity to sign up for Summer at the end of the Spring season.
