“This is our first season with Dreadhead Track and Field. It truly has been an incredible experience, and we saw a positive change in our son.”
“This is our first season with Dreadhead Track and Field. It truly has been an incredible experience, and we saw a positive change in our son.”
“I would like to share with you that I am very glad that I found your program. We are very happy with your training and activities for the children. Also, we really appreciate the way you talk to them, my son did a couple of races before (nothing like Dreadhead) but he started to feel frustrated about not being in first place, but now he just enjoys and is willing to learn and practice without worries. From the first meet it exceeded our expectations and it felt very professional. It is totally worth the drive 😉
“We would LOVE Dreadhead!! My son absolves running and it’s been so great to see him excel and learn from amazing coaches and staff!”
“My daughter loves track and wants to continue it even after 5th grade.”
“Absolutely love this program. Thank you for everything you do!”
“This our third year of doing Dreadhead track and we absolutely love Coach Kenny, Tyler, and the rest of the team that help with teaching the kids the fundamentals of track and field events and also about sportsmanship. Our family looks forward to every practice and meet during the track season.”
“Best decision we’ve made. GREAT Team-building, competition and Fun.”
“Kenny, Your passion for coaching kids is phenomenal. Eli absolutely loved doing track. Our family looks forward to being a part of dread head for the coming years!”
“I’m so glad we found you guys!! You taught our kids accountability, sportsmanship, track and field skills, all while having fun. Thank you!! We will be back:)”
“We love the gentle discipline that you work with. It is a very positive environment.”
“Just want to congratulate you on an awesome first Track Meet. It was such a great experience for both the kids and parents. You gave a great opening speech and it’s awesome to see my son so motivated to run his best.”
“I appreciate the fact that Dreadhead Sports allow other schools that are not close to participate. Track is my sons element and this team has taught him how to be humble and a good competitor. I love how they have javelin, long jump, running jump, hurdles and various races. Everything is very fair so everyone has a chance to win. The owner is a great leader and has instilled good values in the program. It is literally everything we were looking for. I just wish there were more seasons to join.”
“Absolutely great experience. Wasn’t too sure what we were getting into but it better then imagined! Perfect for numerous reasons. Track in its self. Preparing for another sport or even just pure exercise and competition! Would recommend to anyone!”
“I signed my sons up for Dreadhead track & field for the first time in 2019. My youngest has stuck with it and loves it. Coach Kenny is accomodating and prepares the children for more than just track. He prepares them for the real world and helps them work on improving themselves every day. He cant wait for the next season! I couldn’t ask for more, except more seasons in our hometown or track & field for adults!”
