Feel free to Contact Us if you have additional questions. The purpose of the Club is to provide Prep level development for High School aged athletes in preparation for Collegiate programs. Participation in the sport provides athletes with opportunities for individual competition rather than the team experience available in many other youth sports. The Clubs primary purpose is to provide an atmosphere for athletes to develop Track & Field skills, and have fun. Emphasis is placed in personal development and goal setting; with achievement of performance goals as the basis for measuring success. Athletes are focused on striving for continual personal improvement rather than winning. The Arizona Puma Track Club provides an opportunity for qualified athletes to participate in Invitational Meets, Regional, National and International level competition. Through constant challenge, an athlete reach their true potential. We primarily seek High School age athletes, for whom Track & Field is their primary sport, to assist in developing a path to education. The Club is managed by Head 'Coax' Ray Davis. Ray, who was named as the USATF 2008 Western Region Youth Coach of the Year, is the former Executive Vice President of the Arizona Association of USA Track & Field and additionally served on the coaching staff at Glendale Community College. He is a graduate of the IAAF Level 3 Elite Coach Academy and a USATF Level 3 Certified High Jump Coach.
