Testimonials  

“One of the most important aspect for us selecting a sports club for our children is not only technical skills development but also one that contributes to their overall growth as a responsible member of the community.  Since joining Kajaks’ Track Rascals program, we were touched by the amazing staff who were professional, engaging and caring.  The leadership opportunities for young adults who graduated from the junior programs played a big part in creating the sense of community as well as setting an example for younger athletes.  Come to one of the track meets and be astounded by the sportsmanship of Kajaks athletes, support for each other, as well as the devoted support from coaches and families.  We are so thankful to be part of the Kajaks family.  GO KAJAKS GO!” - Ly family

"I love Kajaks Track and Field.  You get to connect with the community while having fun and getting fit.  Competing against kids from other clubs at track meets, aiming for a personal best while winning medals and ribbons."

- Kayden, 9 yo

"The benefits of joining track and field are include mental toughness, perseverance, dedication, teamwork, physical strength, inspiration from the masters athletes and other high performance athletes and the coaches are always there to support them.

The boys are looking forward to the next season to improve their technique in various events, learn to pace, run faster, build muscle, build confidence, get to know more athletes, compete in as many meets as possible."- Xiao family
