Winter Conditioning
Crazy Running – Winter Conditioning, one of our most popular training sessions, include weeks of endurance, strength and speed development for youth ages 3 – 14. Sixty-minute workouts include running, stretching, strength training, running form work, plyometrics, speed development and more! The Crazy Running program motivates, encourages, and challenges young athletes to push themselves, improve their fitness and develop their athletic ability. We find that athletes do benefit from participating one day per week, but find that the athletes that participate more than one day per week grow more athletically. Crazy Running Winter Conditioning will help the young athlete: be more prepared for spring sports, increase speed and endurance, improve core strength, increase overall fitness in the off-season, become a stronger athlete! Play Crazy, Run Hard!

Spring Training
Our program is designed to help develop coordination and athleticism in young kids. No matter your kids skill level, no kid sits the bench!! Running gets kids in great condition and helps them become balanced, well-rounded athletes. We teach core athletic fundamentals using structured practices, form drills, running specific exercises, and running specific plyometrics. We believe in teaching kids to run correctly, creating aerobically challenging practices, and having fun with running games designed to bring out the competitive spirit.
This fun, challenging training program will prepare kids to compete in Crazy Kz, a low-key cross country style event where kids run a certain distance based on their age and abilities. We will focus on goal setting and determination as we train to compete in this fun day of racing that is also a fundraiser for the WS/FCS Healthful Living Department!

It is our belief at Crazy Running that kids should learn to love healthy competition, challenging themselves, while adopting a sport they can enjoy for the rest of their lives. Instead of focusing on increasing distance, we prefer the focus to be a child competing to the best of their ability. Encouraging kids to give their best, never give up, and always set big goals is what we are all about!
We are planning a fun, family friendly event!

Summer
Our summer season is designed for families on the go! We understand that summer schedules can get busy, which is why we offer flexible programming to keep kids active and engaged, away from screens. Our summer sessions take place multiple days each week, allowing for a fun and energetic way to stay fit. With our virtual punch card, you can choose the number of practices that fit your schedule, ensuring that your child can participate as much or as little as you need. If you’re in Winston-Salem for the summer, we’d love to have you join us for every practice!

This program is designed to teach young athletes the fundamentals of Track and Field – jumps, throws, hurdles, sprints and distance events!

This program is great exercise, awesome conditioning and speed development, plus a whole lot of FUN!
In the middle and at the end of this dynamic training program, kids will compete at our Kidz Track Meet, a fast-paced yet low-key track event where kids compete in certain track and/or field events based on their interest, age and gender!
