Our Mission
We are committed to empowering youth through amateur sports by fostering self-determination, self-awareness, and academic responsibility. Through inclusive and equitable programming, we help young individuals build confidence, embrace their potential, and thrive both on and off the field. We believe in the power of self-belief—and the ability to achieve through purpose, discipline, and community.
ST. LOUIS SCORPIONS TRACK CLUB
Founded in 2017 by Coach Terry Robinson, the St. Louis Scorpions Track Club was established to provide young athletes with the opportunity to reach their full potential through the development of athletic skill, physical fitness, and competitive excellence in track and field and cross-country. Rooted in the legacy of the award-winning Royal Knights Athletic Association—originally founded by Michael Carr in the 1959—the St. louis Scorpions Track Club proudly carry forward the same principles of disciplined training, athlete-centered development, and unwavering commitment to youth empowerment.
The St. Louis Scorpions is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth organization based in the St. Louis, Missouri area, serving athletes ages 5 to 18 across the city, county, and neighboring regions. We are proud members of USA Track & Field (USATF), the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), and The Ozark Association, reflecting our dedication to high standards and national-level competition.
In July 2017, thirteen of our athletes competed in the AAU Junior Olympics in Des Moines, Iowa—among more than 3,000 participants. All thirteen achieved personal bests, and two earned All-American honors.
Between 2018 and 2025, over 500 of our athletes have competed on National platforms with more than 40 athletes earning All-American status and National recognition.
Driven by the dedicated volunteer efforts of coaches, parents, and community supporters, the St. Louis Scorpions Track Club serves as a positive outlet for youth in St. Louis’ inner city, county and surrounding communities. Through rigorous athletic training and character development, we aim to instill pride, self-respect, and a strong personal work ethic—empowering our youth to pursue excellence in sports, academics, and life.
