Kingdom Fitness Running
Club is a faith-based organization that encourages young runners to
reach their full potentials in every area. Emphasizing fitness,
leadership, and personal goals, the Kingdom Fitness team will help your
child develop skills that will remain throughout his or her life.
As an accredited member
of USA Track & Field, Kingdom Fitness membership serves as a
platform to compete in Southern Association, Regional, and National
events. Most of our members do compete regularly in cross country
meets, although it is not required that they do so.
Goals
- To
provide a Christ-centered, family focused atmosphere for the purpose of
enabling young runners to attain personal goals in physical fitness and
in life.
- To
bring families together in a social setting, through exercise, play,
and relaxation.
- To
teach Biblical principles and leadership skills through the training
program of the running club.
- To
provide a supervised, structured fitness regime for leisure runners and
for young runners who are participating in organized athletics, such as
Cross Country, Track and Field, and other running sports.
- To
enter club members in running events and to help them excel in
competition.
- To
equip our club members with knowledge on proper nutrition and daily
exercise and to share with everyone the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
- To
train on a weekly, year-long basis with a concentrated effort during
peak running season. To offer our club members and other young
runners the opportunity to attend a week-long, residential running camp
during the summer.
Location and Times
Kingdom Fitness is based
at The Gospel Christian Training Center in Ruston, LA. Home of
the Choudrant High School Invitational, The Gospel offers multiple running trails,
both open and wooded, in a safe environment. The Gospel has been
rated one of the top ten cross country courses in Louisiana.
The Gospel is located on Hwy. 821, 2.5 miles east of Hwy. 33
(Farmerville Highway). All practice sessions originate at the
pavilion area.
We practice Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday
mornings from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Practices are cancelled in the
event of rain. During the winter months, a temperature of 45
degrees Fahrenheit or below also invokes cancellation.
Temperature is determined by calling Community Trust Bank's
time/temperature line at 5:00p.m. or 10:00a.m. Attendance at all
practices is not required.
Meet the Leadership Team
It
is our philosophy that each child is unique. It is our desire to
bring out that uniqueness in order for each runner to reach his or her
full potential.
