Revolution Express (RETC) is a competitive traveling club for youth track & field.  Do not join unless you expect to consistently train and compete (missing a competition is by exception only) throughout the spring season plus the Pacific Association Championship meet (June 8-9, 2013).  Middle school and high schoolers train with RETC until their school season begins then return as soon as their school season is over. 

Youth athletes between the ages of 7-18 are invited to train and compete with our club.  Not sure if this sport is for you ... come watch a practice and see if this what you'd like to do.

The following disciplines are available for RETC atheletes to train in:

Running:  Sprinting, distance, hurdles, steeplechase, relays
Race Walking:  1500m, 3000m
Jumps:  Long jump, triple jump, high jump
Pole Vault:  training can begin in the 7th grade
Throws:  shot put, discus, turbo javelin, javelin, hammer

Indoor Track & Field Season - January-February
Outdoor Track & Field Season - February-July

During the USATF club season Revolution Express travels throughout Northern California and up to Reno for competitions.  At this time only a couple of local Sacramento area USATF clubs host meets so as a result it means an all-day trek for the family on a Saturday or Sunday.  Because the distance is typically a 1 1/2 - 2 hour drive each way to a competition we try to limit our participation to two meets a month during the track season.

In the summer (mid-June through mid-July) we also participate in local all-comer meets when they are available.
