The mission of Quiet Storm Track Association (QSTA) is to provide youth ages 6-18 access to a safe space that builds confidence, develops character, and helps acquire necessary skills to achieve their fullest potential in becoming productive, community minded, AND responsible adults. 

 

We are raising tomorrow’s leaders on today’s playgrounds. While striving to win, our youth learn about teamwork, leadership and sportsmanship, all of which can contribute to their development as productive citizens. In doing this, QSTA provides training that will impact the lives of youth and their families in fighting childhood obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and enhance social skills and community activism.  

 

Our program’s focus is on after school training and conditioning of track athletes, the development of life skills, mentoring, after school tutoring, and college tours.

 

QSTA's program is inclusive of all individuals.  We take pride in providing services to developmentally delayed, autistic and individuals with disabilities, because we know they are able and capable of achieving everything in life without being labeled.

Enrolling your child in a sport has tremendous benefits such as endurance, strength, and overall fitness.  At times, it may seem challenging to find the appropriate sport or "right fit"  for your child who may be diagnosed with any disability, learning disorder, or autism.  That is why QSTA has a program that enables your child to participate in group sports.

 

If you feel that traditional sports might not be the best idea, it may be a good idea to start with sporting activities where each member of the team contributes independently. Track and Field is an individual sport where you are part of a team. This sport allows your child to be part of a team but alleviate the stress of being fully dependent on each other every second of the game. In addition, track gives children an avenue to stay healthy and teach them the value of practice makes perfect.
