Elite Work Ethic · 1 on 1 Development
One For All Athletics is an elite program focused on 1 on 1 development. We keep a strict ratio of 1 coach for every 15 athletes so every athlete gets the direct attention they need, and we curate our training groups so athletes are competitive and feed off each other. Spots are limited.
Here's what we look for: an elite work ethic. We take pride and joy in coaching athletes who want to be here and want to become the best athletes they can be, wherever they're starting from. Most of our athletes aspire to compete in college, and we love that. Complete the questionnaire below and a member of our staff will personally follow up.
Get your feet wet — learn the events, have fun, and compete close to home. A welcoming entry point for families new to the sport.
A larger commitment for athletes chasing the next stage — travel to bigger meets and compete on national stages.
We believe in full transparency about what 1FA costs a family before you commit. Below is the annual team fee plus a realistic all-in estimate so there are no surprises.

The $800 team fee includes the 1FA Uniform Package and may be paid in full or in installments. Travel figures are estimates and vary by the number of meets and distance traveled — families are notified in advance of any costs beyond those listed. If cost is ever a concern, contact us directly; we will work with you so payment is never a barrier to participation.
Our winter season is a shorter, all-local schedule — a great way to stay sharp in the off-season. Four meets, all in Chicago, with no overnight travel.
| Winter Season Fee (coaching + facility + uniform) | $800 |
| Meet Entry Fees (est. 5 meet days × $25) | $125 |
| Travel — local gas | $75 |

Four local meets with no overnight travel. Your 1FA uniform is included in the season fee. VASA training days require a VASA membership (see below).
Indoor season concludes January 17. Team practices continue until March 1 to best prepare athletes for their remaining middle school and high school indoor season and set them up for a successful outdoor season.
After March 1, athletes are welcome to sign up for small group sessions, just like fall training.
Indoor season is a challenge for us Midwesterners, so we've gotten creative. We'll train outdoors when the weather allows, at the Go For It Sports Dome in Yorkville, and at VASA Fitness in Oswego. First official team practice: Tuesday, November 10.
All four meets are at the Dr. Conrad Worrill Track & Field Center in Chicago.
Need a different payment method? Just ask. Accepted athletes complete a full Athlete Health & Registration form (medical, emergency contacts, and required waivers) before the season begins.
Every 1FA family reviews our Parent & Athlete Commitment — it sets the expectations that make this team what it is. Please read it before submitting your application.
All fields help us understand your athlete and your family's goals. Submitting sends your responses directly to our staff — it does not guarantee a roster spot.
