The Factory welcomes beginners as well as experienced competitive athletes.

Training is differentiated according to age, experience, and skill level.

During the Summer program, practices are held at Totino-Grace High School, located at 1350 Gardena Ave NE, Fridley, MN 55432.

Location for other training seasons may vary year-to-year.

It varies by season.

Summer athletes train 3 to 4 days per week depending on age.

Fall training may be offered up to 4 days per week.

Winter training may include up to 3 track sessions and 2 strength sessions per week.

Membership may be required for athletes participating in sanctioned competition.

Families will receive instructions when registration is needed.

Athletes should arrive with appropriate running shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, water, and any event-specific equipment requested by coaches.

Spike recommendations and competition requirements will be communicated according to age and event.

Yes. We support multi-sport athletes and understand that many of our athletes compete and train with other teams throughout the year. Our priority, however, is making sure athletes are developing without becoming overworked or increasing their risk of injury.

The right training schedule will depend on the athlete’s current practice schedule, competition schedule, age, and overall training load. Athletes interested in training with Minnesota Sprint Factory while actively participating in another sport should consult with Coach Brown and a parent or guardian so we can determine whether additional training is a good fit and develop an appropriate schedule.

Minnesota Sprint Factory reserves training spots and coaching resources based on athlete registration, so payments are generally nonrefundable once a training period has begun.

Summer Training: Summer registration is paid in full at the time of enrollment. Because space is limited and your athlete’s spot is reserved upon registration, fees are nonrefundable once the summer program begins.

Winter Training: Winter training is paid in advance in two-week training blocks. Payment for each upcoming two-week period must be received before the athlete participates in that training block. Once a training block begins, payments are nonrefundable and cannot be transferred to a future training period for missed practices or competitions.

We understand that unexpected injuries and significant medical circumstances can occur. Those situations may be reviewed individually by Minnesota Sprint Factory.

If Minnesota Sprint Factory cancels a scheduled training session and is unable to offer a reasonable makeup opportunity, families will receive an appropriate credit or refund.
