Introducing Blaze SF Track Club
A New Chapter Begins! Now Serving San Francisco, CA
Blaze Youth Athletics, Inc. and the Hershey Blaze Track Club are proud to announce our official expansion to the West Coast with the launch of our new sister organization Blaze SF, our newest training site and youth track & field program based in San Francisco, California.
Founded in 2013 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Hershey Blaze Track Club has grown from a small parent-led passion project into a high-performing, community-rooted program serving 300 athletes annually across multiple seasons and training locations.
Now, we are bringing that same family-first culture, proven development model, and championship mindset to Northern California—with a powerful new partnership that strengthens our mission even further.

The Concept: Blaze SF is more than a new location – It’s a Movement!
Blaze SF will serve as a home for youth athletes ages 7–18 (with most athletes ages 9–14) who want to grow in:
No tryouts. No prior experience required.
Just a willingness to learn, work, and have fun.
Blaze SF is being established to create a consistent, safe, and high-energy space where youth athletes can train, build relationships, and compete—while being surrounded by a community that believes in them.
Our Mission
Blaze SF proudly carries forward the same mission that has defined our original program, Hershey Blaze Track Club, since 2013.
To:
It’s a family vibe where athletes feel supported, encouraged, and empowered every time they step on the track. It’s a space where friendships are built, confidence grows, and every athlete—no matter their starting point—feels like they belong. We believe in creating an environment where effort is celebrated, growth is recognized, teamwork is valued, and every athlete matters.
At Blaze, we celebrate medals—but more importantly, we celebrate every victory along the journey. Whether it’s improving a time, learning a new skill, finishing a race strong, or simply showing up with courage and commitment—those moments define success.
Our leaders and coaches are committed to developing the whole athlete, focusing on speed, fundamentals, character, and confidence—while building a community that families are proud to be a part of.
