How to Plan a Middle School Track Season (Coach’s Guide)
Most middle school seasons only last 6-7 weeks, and once meets begin you may only have one real training day per week. That means coaches need a clear system for organizing practices, managing fatigue, and helping young athletes improve without burning them out.
In this video, you'll learn a simple framework for planning a middle school track season, including:
• How to structure the early part of the season
• How to manage practices once meets begin
• Why most middle school athletes shouldn't be pushed too hard early
• How to balance skill development, conditioning, and recovery
• The biggest mistakes coaches make during short track seasons
This approach helps athletes stay healthy, build confidence, and finish the season excited about track and field.

If you are coaching high school or middle school athletes how to hurdle, this video series is for you. In this first video, I’m going to teach you a step by step process to identify which athletes on your team should be your hurdlers while at the same time, teaching them from the beginning the most fundamental skills they need to be great.
**CORRECTION: The spaces mentioned in the video are wrong 🙁
They should be:
Lane 2: (4) mini hurdles. Same, but hurdles 2-4 are spread 24’ (7.5) apart
Lane 3: (4) mini hurdles. Same, but hurdles 2-4 are spread 26’ (8m) apart
Lane 4: (4) mini hurdles. Same, but hurdles 2-4 are spread 28’ (8.5m) apart
So sorry 🙁
