ABOUT US The FIRE, a non-profit athletic club for boys and girls ages 6-18, was organized in the Fishers, IN. The Club is currently affiliated with the Indiana USA Track and Field Association and presents a unique training program for the local youth. The Club's main objective is to foster a positive, fun, and supportive atmosphere for training and athletic growth. The Club coaches offer instruction that is suited to all levels of ability and experience, making The FIRE probably the best place to try track events before joining highly competitive school programs. While training for a goal and competition are always encouraged, promoting an active lifestyle and social involvement in sports among young people stands as another Club's priority. The FIRE has two sessions each year: Spring Track & Field (April-July) and Fall Cross Country (September-December). Within every session, athletes go through a well-structured training schedule and have an opportunity to compete in their age divisions at local (all-comers) and regional USATF sanctioned meets. Although encouraged, attendance of every single practice is not mandatory, and participation in meets is voluntary. THE FIRE TRACK & FIELD CLUB is excited to offer 1st through 8th graders an opportunity to participate in Track and Field. Our focus will be on fitness, fun and training to participate in meets. Track meets will include Fire Sponsored meets, local meets and the USA Track & Field State Meet held in Mid June, with the opportunity to advance to Regionals (early July) and Nationals (Late July) This will be a great introduction to Track and Field or an opportunity to expand and extend the Track and Field season offered by local schools. Full meet schedule will be available at club web site prior to the season. We encourage Fire Athletes to participate in their school track programs during the season.
