​Our Philosophy
  • We welcome ALL children between the ages of 6 and 14 who would like to participate. All we require is a good attitude and willingness to participate and follow the rules so we all stay safe and have fun.
  • Running, jumping, and throwing is good for everyone, from novice athletes to those who desire to compete. Along with our track and field activities, we offer an advanced running program for experienced athletes with Coach Javier Naranjo.
  • Our track and field activities are rigorous but also inclusive. We can adapt to a variety of needs.
  • Please contact Coach Laura if you would like to inquire about accommodations for your child. lchiorello@yahoo.com (831) 359-7715



Track Practices
  • Practices will be held at the Anna Jean Cummings Park  March 16-April 27 on Mondays and Wednesdays 3:30-4:45
  • Kids ages 7 through 14 are welcome to attend.
  • Youth athletes should wear comfortable workout clothes and shoes.
  • Please bring your own water (labelled with your name if possible).
  • We will do warm ups and strength exercises for 30 mins on the field
  • We then break into four small groups and rotate through running, jumping, javelin throwing, and obstacle course stations for 60 mins. We are looking into adding the triple jump and discus throwing this year!  (These activities may be modified for COVID) 
  • We have the most amazing volunteer coach volunteers who are all accomplished athletes but most importantly, are GREAT with children and are wonderful teachers

Youth Coach Laura
Laura Chiorello arrived in Santa Cruz County in 1992 as a UCSC student and has never left! After earning her MA in Education, she began teaching in the Soquel Union Elementary School District. Over 13 years, she taught students in grades 4-8 everything from science and health to humanities, but some of the most fun she had was running with her students.  A SCTC member since 2005, Laura has been a triathlete and a runner for 15 years, completing 3 marathons, two Olympic distance triathlons, and countless half marathons, sprint triathlons, 10 milers, 10K's, 5 milers, and 5K's. Her proudest moments have been placing in her age group in local races.  She lives in Soquel with her husband, Jeff, also a SCTC member, their eight year old daughter, Vivienne, who never stops running, their hyper border collie, Zeke, and their highly energetic Siamese cat, Soobie. They also just adopted a super active corgi, Nutmeg, aka "The Nut." Laura can be contacted at lchiorello@yahoo.com or (831) 359-7715
