The FTTC is a non-profit USATF Youth Track and Field and Cross Country organization that offers youth athletes the opportunity to compete at the state, regional, and national levels. We seek to create a team-oriented environment with core values that are taught through training and are intended for use in everyday life.

We currently have athletes from the Buncombe, Transylvania, Haywood, Jackson and Henderson counties. USATF club membership # 13-0968.
