ECCTC provides valuable team and social experiences for the increasing population of public, private, and home-schooled youth.  ECCTC offers young athletes the opportunity to participate in a variety of track & field events throughout the sport.  Beginning in the first grade, these experiences provide a source of recreation and simultaneously improve athletic skills, health and fitness, as they offer experience in teamwork, sportsmanship, fair play, cooperation, and leadership.  Increased self-confidence is just one of the many intangible benefits this program offers.

Since our inception, January 2010, ECCTC continues to be one of the premier youth Track & Field teams in Cobb County.  We seek to make the experiences affordable and available for all interested participants.  This is done is done through a series of successful fundraising activities, and charitable donations.  ECCTC currently has 26 young athletes throughout Cobb County, with additional youth participating on an out-of-district basis.

According to Stop Childhood Obesity, childhood obesity statistics in the United States have caught the attention of every aspect of our nation recently. Between 16 and 33 percent of children and adolescents are obese. Obesity is among the easiest medical conditions to recognize but most difficult to treat. Unhealthy weight gain due to poor diet and lack of exercise is responsible for over 300,000 deaths each year. The annual cost to society for obesity is estimated at nearly $100 billion. Overweight children are much more likely to become overweight adults unless they adopt and maintain healthier patterns of eating and exercise.   We at East Cobb Cheetahs look to do our part by engaging kids in a physical fitness program that will produce healthier living.
