The Racing Team

Building a Culture of Achievement

Saluki Racing Team is a year round competitive program comprised of approximately 100 athletes in 5 different training squads. The focus of our program is to instruct, train, and help the athlete learn about the sport and what long term participation can mean.

The Racing Team is a competitive program and although new athletes may not wish to enter meets immediately they will be expected to compete soon after they join the team.

Training takes place 11 months out of the year and is organized into two "seasons": a short course season which runs from September to March, and a long course season running from March to August. Four training sessions (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer) are set up to make it easier for families to join the program for limited periods of time. This is done for matters of convenience and parents should be aware that the greatest benefits of the program will not be realized by piecemeal participation. 

Our training philosophy focuses on long term athlete development. Some Saluki athletes have reached the highest level of participation in the sport, others have learned important lessons about themselves, fitness, goal setting, and perseverance.
