PENN HILLS EAGLES TRACK CLUB
REGISTRATION
2025 8-WEEK PRESEASON STRENGTH & CONDITIONING PROGRAM
NOTE: The program below is a separate program from the outdoor track and field season. If you register for preseason, that does not automatically register your athlete for the outdoor season. You will need to register at the link that will be provided in a separate email.
We are now accepting registrations for the 8-week preseason strength & conditioning program. You are receiving this email because you either participated in the 2024 track and field season or requested info as prospective families for the 2025 season. The training is optional and exclusive only for those athletes that are committed to register with the Penn Hills Eagles Track team for the 2025 track and field season. This program is very beneficial for the athletes to prepare them prior to the outdoor track & field season, and it has proven to be a productive training benefit. The preseason training will be held at Penn Hills Elementary School gym (located at 1079 Jefferson Road, 15235) and Linton Middle School gym.
The organization was selected by Dick’s Sporting Goods to receive a grant from the Dick’s Sports Matters program to assist with several different aspects of the organization. We have purchased numerous pieces of equipment that will aid in strengthening and building our athletes’ training.
In past years, strength and conditioning training were always designed for track and field, but this year we have redesigned the program to work on more specific areas of track and field before we start training in the outdoor season. Training will consist of different training sessions each week that will build on one another to prepare the athlete for the outdoor training. It will also consist of training with some limited field events that can be practiced indoors.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Since 1990, founder and Head Coach, Charles Carter, started the Penn Hills Eagles Track Club as a feeder program to help develop athletes at elementary, middle and high school levels. Our added goal is to develop and prepare high school athletes for college levels. This program is not a recreational program but a developmental program which builds on teaching athletes basic skills on running, body mechanics, fundamentals, sportsmanship, nutrition, discipline, field techniques and character building. We have dedicated coaches that enjoy the opportunity to develop the athletes every year. The Penn Hills Eagles offers a year round track and field program which includes cross-country and a preseason strength and conditioning program. Our youths travel to local, regional and national venues to compete. The team has traveled every year all across the country both regionally and nationally. Since 1996, the Penn Hills Eagles Track Club has taken over hundreds of athletes to regional and national competition levels and holds several top 6 national “All American” awards.
