Cambridge Youth Track

The Cambridge Youth track team is a not-for-profit club created to share the benefits of the sport of track and field to the North Fulton community. Cherokee County and the city of Atlanta have robust youth track programs but North Fulton had limited options for the sport. The Cambridge Youth Track & Field Club strives to provide our youth athletes the opportunity to develop their speed, strength, self-esteem, and endurance through good sportsmanship, self-discipline, leadership, and goal achievement. Our coaching staff is committed to developing well-rounded athletes who understand the fundamentals of training and competing in track & field while also developing sound athletes of sound character.


Track practices will primarily be at Cambridge High School. We will have additional speed and strength training practices at local grass fields (all locations will be on calendar).
