What does a track and field season look like?
​
Track and field has an indoor season that starts January to March then transitions to the outdoor season in April, finishing in August. The crosscountry season starts in May and runs until November. The Minor Track Association of Ontario, better known as the MTA, is the organizing body for youth track and field and cross country running in Ontario. Foundation membership provides athletes an introductory structure to train to compete through a few MTA meets.
Competitive membership athletes work with their assigned coach and choose Athletics Ontario (AO) and Royal Canadian Legion sanctioned competitions that best suit their schedule. National ranking with Athletic Canada starts by attending sanctioned events which are used for varsity athletic acceptance. Entry into provincial and national meets require athletes to achieve standards at this point requiring focused approach.
​
Although OFSAA track and field is not part of the club system, athletes are encouraged to participate in school track and field programs and competitions. Quinte Legion Lynx provide coach volunteers and equipment to support Bay of Quinte, COSSA and East Regional competitions.
