Since 2005, the nonprofit club Nittany Track and Field (NTF) has been providing boys and girls ages 7 to 18 in the State College area with a positive, fun, and supportive atmosphere for training and athletic growth. “Our mission is to let kids love their sport first of all and to provide supportive environment for them to develop,” said Mark Fedkin, the club’s lead organizer. “We are not excessively focusing on scores and winning—those things come naturally in due time, but we are really focusing on training fundamentals right and creating a positive experience for all our athletes.”
