Kangaroo Track Club - MINNESOTA

Today I would like to take a moment to thank ALL the KTC jumpers, parents and coaches that have given us the opportunity to be part of their success.
11 years ago Kangaroo Track Club started with only one reason, to help kids learn valuable life lessons through track and field. Through coaching and mentoring Kangaroo Athletics was able to help athletes become a better version of themselves (for them and their communities). In the beginning it was just 2 athletes who's parents came and asked me to coach and mentor them.
I remember that it was winter and in order for the kids to jump (practice), I had to pull the HJ mats out of the shed that was located on the other side of the football stadium and carry them at night across a snowy and frozen football field, where the temperature some times was -30 Fahrenheit (-34 Celsius) so the kids could jump (2x a week) in the basketball gym at Eagan HS (rented). After practice I had to store the pits back in the shed at the end of the football stadium……. ahhhh…..beautiful times!! :)
The 2 kids ended up going to state and their success on and off the track ended up planting a seed that gave us the opportunity to help out more and more athletes not only from Minnesota, but from nearly every corner of the United States (HS and College) and some international athletes that came along the way.
11 years later we where blessed to work with and be part of the success of: 1 Olympian, 1 Asian Champion, 1 U.S. Team Member, 20 All Americans, State High School champions in MN (multiple), WI (multiple), MI (multiple), IL (multiple), GA, TX (multiple), IA (multiple), WA, NE, LA (multiple), IN, OK, ID, KS, VA, MO, and AL, along with state qualifiers in several other states.
Today we would like to celebrate with you the opening of the Kangaroo TC indoor location in New Prague, Minnesota. The indoor facility is a 40' x 60' heated and insulated building with a full bathroom. It has been a long dream that today is a reality, where high jumpers, long jumpers and triple jumpers can train all year around in a privately owned location in addition of the already established Kangaroo TC Texas location (3 acres in Orchard). Please come and visit us now at any of the Kangaroo Track Club locations (Minnesota or Texas).
It has been a long but rewarding journey and we would not be where we are if it wasn't for all and each one of you. Thank you for letting us be part of your success and remember…. ONCE A KANGAROO, ALWAYS A KANGAROO!!
Sincerely,
Coach Hugo Munoz

For decades high, long, and triple jumpers have always struggled to find good, stable, professional, and safe places to train all year around, a place where the jumpers did not have to share the facility with other sports like football, baseball, lacrosse etc… Kangaroo TC worked very hard for 6 years in order to accomplish this goal, and with great pleasure we would like to announce that Kangaroo TC found a permanent place in Orchard TX (West Houston area). The 2.8 acres outdoor facility will be the first and only privately owned high, long and triple jump facility in the US where athletes will be able to train all year around in a training facility made for THE JUMPS with the best all year around weather that south Texas can offer. Construction of the training areas will start after the first week of May and we are planning to have the high, long and triple jumps summer camps there and maybe a few meets. coaching

This is where the lights of the jumps area will always be ON for you (please see video), come home and jump with us!

Article #2: Athlete VS Coach, by Hugo Munoz.
The other day I got a phone call from an athlete asking for my help and telling me: “My coach doesn’t know about high jump, and is trying to mess me up”. Before I start this article I would like to say that my intention is not to point fingers or to throw anyone under the bus. The intention of this article is to help athletes see an opportunity where …..[read more..] training
