Spring Outdoor Track Comes to Needham TC
The Spring Outdoor Track program is open to children age 5-14, the program will meet on Sundays from April 7, 2023 - June 9, 2024 at DeFazio Field at 360 Dedham Avenue in Needham MA 02492. There are two separate sessions this year: Sundays from 9:15 - 10:20 am and Sundays 10:40 - 11:45 am Children will be coached both in running and field events and will be exposed to tips on a happy and healthy running life style.
