Club History & About Us

 

WHO WE ARE

Well known Carifta athlete and coach, David S. Charlton, started with a vision and one budding athlete. After years of dedication, he has developed a team now comprising over 50 high school athletes. Star Trackers is a non-profit club, officially "born" in 2001 and holds membership in The Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA), the governing body for track and field in the Bahamas.

The Club is a specialty club with specialized training for the 400m and 400m hurdles. During 2002 the club moved to a new level of organization by way of a constitution and executive body to help with its continued development and operation.

WHY WE EXIST

  • Foster, encourage and promote track & field in the Bahamas, Regionally and on an International level.  

  • Give opportunity for young student athletes to develop their athletic potential and character through practice of proper work ethics. 

  • Position athletes both academically and athletically so as to be recipients of a full athletic scholarship.

  • Promote social, family and community involvement with regard to the sport of track & field.

OUR PLEDGE

  • All coaches and members of the executive team volunteer their time and are unpaid. No monies are spent on salaries.

  • All athletes' academic performance will be monitored directly by the coaches. Athletes whose GPA falls below a 2.0 will be withdrawn from track practice and place on study hall with tutors.

  • All athletes will be encouraged to obtain a minimum of 900 SAT score, 5 BGCSE passes and a minimum of a 2.5 GPA. General and SAT tutoring will be made available via our affiliation with the BAAA and club parent volunteers.

  • All sponsors may request a copy of our annual accounts at any time for review.
