South Jersey Track and Field Club 429 East Melrose Avenue, Haddon Township, NJ 08108

"We just moved here from California and my daughter did really well in track while we were their. I spoke to coach Craig before we moved and he even invited us to a practice before signing up for the summer camp. My daughter has always focused on sprinting but after this camp she wants to do hurdles and long jump. Coach Craig philosophy is to always make it fun for the kids and allow them to explore other things and I couldn't be happier with the coaches and volunteer's. Thank you"

"Leaving a review today based on me and my child’s first experience here with south jersey track & field. Owner Craig strimel was extremely rude from the very first day we joined. On day one my son was in the wrong age group. He was with the grade younger than him, I asked to put him in the correct grade and age and Craig told me no. He told me he had to stay with that group for the day. Which doesn’t make any sense. No paper work had to be done. Nothing besides simply moving my son from one group to the next which was 2ft away. The next conversation I had with this man was another rude experience. The children were separated by activities. When my son was at the sprints location, there were plenty of kids that raced 2/3x. my son only went once. I asked Craig do they only go once and he said Yes, which was clearly a lie. I explained to him that other children went more than once and he did not care. He turned and walked away from me while I was talking to him which is completely unprofessional. Even after he came up to me in my face telling me how I’m wrong. I told him he’s in my face and to walk away. That’s when he waved me off telling me to get out of here as if me and my son was not welcomed. He was extremely rude from day one all the way to the end. How was there not enough time for the kids who are signed up to go but there’s enough time for him to allow the volunteers to race? He told me I can write him to get my money back as if money was an issue. Entitled rude ppl like this makes it extremely hard for ppl to want to join and do activities like this. I have never been disrespected by the owner of a child’s organization ever in my life and to experience treatment like this was sad. I am writing this to let Craig know how he treated myself and the memory me and my son are having from our first experience with this group. I am extremely disappointed and will be picking a different program moving fwd."

"My daughters have been participating in Craig's track and cross country programs for several years and we have been thrilled with their progress. One of my daughters discovered a love for hurdling and high jumping, which is not offered otherwise at her age group. Craig instills a love of the sport and has created a fun program through which my children have gained lifelong friendships as well as confidence in their abilities. As a lifelong runner, I often wish this kind of program would have been available when I was a child and I'm delighted that my kids have the opportunity to learn the sport with such a knowledgeable coach."

"This running club is wonderful! We have participated in summer track, XC in the fall, winter running program and spring track. There is so much to learn about running and coach Craig covers it all! If you want to work on perfecting your running technique, this is the running club for you. Also just a great group of kids who love to just run and have fun."

"My son has been a part for SJ track and field for almost two years now and I couldn’t be happier with the program! The coaches truly take care in teaching the kids the proper technique and form for running! Regardless if your child is a novice and just getting started or you child has been running for a few years! The coaches really try and stress the team unity and working together in a sport that typically an individual sport. I highly recommend this program and I am excited for my son to be a part of it for Years to come!!"
