About MacCanDo
MacCanDo Tenderloin Youth Track Club is the first non-profit track club formed in San Francisco's Tenderloin District. The program was originally founded to help at-risk youth living in San Francisco's Tenderloin district to reach their full potential through track and field opportunities. Since then, the program has grown and welcomes all young student-athletes. The program is divided into 3 sessions throughout the year: Winter, Spring, and Fall.
NEW MEMBERS must be between the ages of 6 and 12 at time of enrollment. Student-athletes may continue to participate in our program after age 12 if they enrolled prior to turning 12. We will make exceptions for new athletes over the age of 13 if they have at least 2 years of prior experience in track and field.
Mission
The mission of MacCanDo is to help at-risk youth reach their full potential through track and field opportunities.
MacCanDo provides children with a safe environment where they are encouraged to work hard to reach their goals as student-athletes. The goal of the club is to help children build confidence, self-esteem, promote overall health, and most importantly, HAVE FUN.
MacCanDo encourages our team members to "FINISH THE RACE". No matter what place you take, you are a champion when you finish the race! MacCanDo kids do not give up!
