VELOCITY TRACK CLUB NEW YORK: EMPOWERING BRONX YOUTH
We are a Bronx-based youth development track organization that supports children between the ages of 6 and 18 in discovering their potential on and off the field.
Our experienced coaches are dedicated to developing athletic prowess while fostering the social-emotional growth of our athletes, enabling us to cultivate lifelong champions for our community.

COACH WINSTON DINKINS, CO-FOUNDER
I am Winston Dinkins, head coach and co-founder of Velocity Track Club in New York. For more than twenty-five years, I’ve supported the growth and development of young athletes, guiding them to achieve personal excellence on the track and in life.
Growing up in a single-parent home in Brooklyn, I saw men in my community support children in need. Mr. Evans and Mr. Grady taught us baseball, bowling, and other sports. These men never asked for money and transported us to games for years. I believe these men saved many of us from going down the wrong road.
I’m committed to giving back to my community because of the dedication of these men. As a coach, my greatest wins are not the medals–it is helping young people:
- Further their education with as little cost as possible through athletic scholarships
- Contribute to young people becoming productive citizens who will give back to their community
- Learn the power of helping the next generation of athletes as mentors and coaches

TALENT MEETS EFFORT
Dedication and consistency are the keys to success. We focus on building character and resilience in our athletes at every practice and every meet.

OUR TEAM
WHAT WE DO
Our athletes receive age-appropriate sports instruction from our team of coaches and a network of athletes within our community so that they can successfully compete in all three track seasons. Through dedication and perseverance, VTC athletes learn the benefits of fitness and healthy competition.
