OUR MISSION:
The mission of E-1 Track Club is to motivate the athlete to aspire to achieve leadership, discipline and integrity through the sport of track and field and cross country running. E-1 is a community-based program that operates under the guidelines of the Cobb County Youth Track League (CCYTL), Georgia Recreation and Parks Association (GRPA), Smart Meets, United States Association of Track and Field (USATF), Amateur Athletics Union (AAU), and the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA).
"E-1 is proud to have among its adult leadership, USATF Level 1 Certified coaches, experienced coaches, and parent coaches who all work diligently to help develop, refine, and enhance the skills and talent of all athletes- elite, as well as developmental . Head Coach, Coach Vaughn declares, "We work with any and all athletes between the ages of 7 and 18 who respect diligence, have a good work ethic, and are committed to realizing and reaching their potential.” His philosphy is embedded in our motto:
FOCUS – Fast , Optimal, Competitive, Unobstructive, Speed
CLUB FUNCTION:
This organization is open to athletes between the ages of 7 and 18. The program is designed to meet the needs of all participants regardless of their performance level. Athletes who work hard and make the attempt are as much a part of the group as those who attain the highest level of achievement. We believe that "hard work, given time, often beats talent if talent is not accompanied by dedication, diligence, and perseverance in attempts."
The club is comprised of 100% volunteer staff of parents and adults who promote and support youth track. The club operates completely under The E-1 Track Club By-Laws. Copies are available upon request only.
