Our Story

Established in 2024, the Velocity Elite Track Club, LLC stands as a grassroots initiative deeply rooted in the local community. Our primary mission is to provide young girls and boys with a platform to thrive in the dynamic realm of Track and Field and all sports all while fostering academic excellence and invaluable life lessons. Based in Wesley Chapel, Florida, we cater to youth aged 5-18 years old. Our overarching objective is to nurture budding or unrealized talents into skilled athletes, empowering them to pursue collegiate-level sports and secure educational opportunities through athletic scholarships.

Our team's primary focus lies in providing members with diverse competitive opportunities, spanning in both local and national arenas throughout each calendar year. Spearheaded by Coach Crystal D. Shields, our coaching roster boasts over five decades of combined running and coaching expertise. Many among our coaching cadre boast illustrious backgrounds as former professional athletes, Division One competitors or coaches, and distinguished Amateur Athletic Union/United States of America Track and Field Junior Olympians, driven by a true desire to give back, we generously volunteer our time and expertise to the club. We implement a multifaceted training approach encompassing both on and off track components, including aerobic and anaerobic workouts, to cultivate well-rounded athletes.
