Volunteer Coaching Staff
Our volunteer coaching staff comes from a wide-variety of backgrounds, including former track and field athletes, former cross country athletes, 5k, 10k, half-marathon, marathon, triathalon, and ironman runners. All have coached at least one season, and most of them have coached for years. All of our volunteer coaches are 3-step checked with USATF (USA Track and Field Association), which means they have USATF membership, background check, and Safesport training as well as attended the city of Florence coaches training AND city background check. Some are on the USATF National Coaches Registry for obtaining additional education and some have officiated in USATF sanctioned meets. FTC volunteers have obtained the city of Florence background check (some FTC volunteers also obtained USATF 3-step check). All enjoy coaching and helping these young athletes, and watching them improve throughout the season!
