Nova Scotia Hershey Youth Track and Field Program

The Hershey Track and Field Youth Program is designed to encourage children between the ages of 9 and 14 years old to be active and get involved in track and field. This program promotes physical fitness and participation for the youth of North America. Learning, participation, enjoyment and physical exercise are the main goals of this program.

The Hershey Youth Program has been taking place for the past 25 years in the United States. Initially a playground track and field program, the Hershy Track & Field Youth Program is now offered throughout North America (Canada began taking part in 1996), and has become the biggest youth sports program of its kind!

There are several regional Hershey Track & Field meets scheduled throughout the province this summer. Here is a list of the regions that are holding meets this summer as well as the dates and contact names.

If you are interested in hosting a Hershey Youth Track and Field meet in your community, please contact Athletics Nova Scotia for more information.
