We aren't afraid to be GREAT!!!
St. Louis Storm
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Misson Statement
The purpose of the St. Louis Storm track club is to provide organized training for competition in Track & Field. We will provide all athletes an opportunity to set and achieve individual and team goals in a fair and nurturing environment. Athletes will be encouraged to grow mentally and physically, while stressing the life long lessons of the importance of physical fitness and health. Our goal is to instill confidence, leadership skills and a positive self image in all athletes, which can be applied in all aspects of their lives. We will measure our success not in size, but through the educational, social & travel experiences the athletes gain each season.
