WELCOME TO SPEED CAPITAL
Track Nation, welcome to the world of Speed Capital!
As many of you have already experienced, we have taken a unique approach to youth track and field. Whether it is our highly anticipated series of events or our method of showcasing athletes and clubs from across the country, your support has indicated that we are on the right track. For that, we would like to simply say “Thank you!”
The Speed Capital website is designed to provide parents, athletes, and coaches, with countless resources to better their athlete’s performance, academics, and recruiting process. It also allows these individuals to showcase their accomplishments to the world; the Speed Capital social media platforms currently reach over 150,000 domestic and international viewers on a monthly basis. There is NO COST associated with any of the features on the website in 2021 – use promo code “SCMVP” for a free 12-month subscription.
The website’s features:
Profiles: Athletes, club coaches, and collegiate recruiters can create an individual Speed Capital profile. For athletes, their profile will ultimately serve as their portfolio to college recruiters; it will allow the athletes to organize their accomplishments/results by year (ages 4 to 18), add images and videos, and list their coach as a point of contact for recruiters. This truly is a one-stop shop, in which their photos, videos, and results are conveniently documented in a central location.
For club coaches, their profiles can be primarily used to showcase their success as a coach and highlight their club and athletes, respectively. Coaches will be able to select each of their athletes registered on the website and be displayed as the point of contact for that athlete. Additionally, each coach can utilize his/her profile to recruit talented children to join their club or to provide personalized one-on-one training.
News/Headlines: All parties are invited to send in any content they would like displayed on the website regarding their club or athletes. This feature is truly designed to give every youth track club, coach, and athlete a platform to share his/her success. From the offseason to the podium at Junior Olympics, we want to share their journey with the world.
Rankings: This feature is automatic and will update at the conclusion of each Speed Capital Invitational. We anticipate hosting between 1,200–1,500 athletes at each location, which means that, for 2021, we will host a total of 8,400–10,500 total participants. Each athlete will be categorized by age, gender, and event, then ranked based on his/her performance in his/her respective events. Please note that only their performance at Speed Capital will be taken into consideration for the rankings. Athletes are welcome to participate in as many locations as they deem necessary in order to obtain their desired results and ranking.
