FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Spring training begins in early April. Practices are held Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 6:30PM to 8:30PM. Athlete registration includes USATF membership which provides insurance coverage while at practice or attending meets sanctioned by USATF. The athletes compete in approximately nine track meets beginning in May at various locations. The track meets start at 8:30AM and can end around 5:00PM depending on the order of events. The regular season concludes with the Three Rivers Association Championship meet. If an athlete qualifies they may extend their season through participation in the Regional Championship and National Championship meets. Some meets will require team travel out of the state of Pennsylvania. Although we have many football athletes on our team we do not train football athletes for football. Once an athlete makes the team they are expected to participate for the entire season which includes the Three Rivers Association Championship and Junior Olympics. Athletes that leave before the season has concluded will not be able to return to the team.
Future Stars offers opportunities for youth ages 7-18. Exceptional athletic ability is not a prerequisite for participation. We do however ask that each athlete come with a strong work ethic. Parent Volunteer participation is also required. Parents must complete our online inquiry form and participate in an Introductory call. All new athletes must then participate in our assessment session. During this session athletes will learn basic track drills and participate in a workout designed to show the athletes running form and stamina. Parents will be notified shortly after the assessment if their child is able to join the track team.

As with any sport, there are participation fees. The 2026 fees include membership for Future Stars ($200 ) and ($40) USATF membership. We also offer a uniform package which includes the following: uniform, sweat suit and track bag. The average cost of the uniform is $150. Meet fees are also required for each meet and can range from $10-$15 per meet or $8 per event for the championship meets. These fees, however, do not include the necessary footwear and miscellaneous items. When possible, we will advise our parents of available special discounts.
We also have a fundraising committee that plans various fundraisers during the season to defray travel costs and other expenses associated with participation.
