The Southern California Cheetahs are a year round youth running club. We compete in US Track and Field sanctioned meets, AAU track meets, and college and community all comer meets. There are two seasons we focus on during the year. From January through June we focus is Track and Field season, and from July through December is cross country season. We encourage athletes to join at any point during the year. In addition to training to compete, we also offer general conditioning which we can taylor make for each individual, and support cross training for other sports involvement.

Our fees are divided between the two seasons, and include running fees for USATF sanctioned meets. We can provide payment terms and taylor make a plan that fits your training program.

We train at the world famous Mt. San Antonio College track and cross country courses. Our training is currently scheduled Monday, Tuesday and Thursday starting at 4:00 pm. We meet at the practice field, then move up to the track. Depending on the workout, the training can be 1-1/2 to 2 hours in length. When daylight savings time starts, we will change our start time to 5:00 pm.

We send out weekly notices confirming practices, and meets we will be participating in the following week. To get more information, please come out to our practice, meet our coach and our athletes. We encourage you to have your athlete train for a week before making a decision to commit to our program.

We look forward to seeing you at the track!
