History

Carson Vittorio founded the Plainfield Pack TFCC club in 2025 to provide better service to middle school and youth track and field/cross country athletes in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. The club is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and focuses on its mission to build community, teach fundamentals, and have fun.

That mission emerged from two impulses. The first was to critique existing club sports, which focus too often on high achievement, extensive time commitment, travel, and expensive fees. Instead, we created a local community where kids could build friendships and learn the sports of track and field/cross country in a safe and fun environment.

The second impulse was to collaborate with local coaches rather than establish ownership. Plainfield Pack TFCC is not a “feeder” for any local high school. Instead, it is a collaborative partnership between Plainfield Pack TFCC, middle school, and high school coaches all working to build friendships across schools and meaningful relationships with kids.

Impact

It is our sincerest hope that our athletes continue to participate in track and field /cross country at the high school and collegiate levels. Whether the athlete is an elite performer or an enthusiastic participant, we hope that they continue to add their expertise and enthusiasm beyond the middle school and high school level.

Another aspiration is for kids from different schools to develop meaningful relationships with each other. This sport at times can be really difficult, but the friendships that are gained along the way are lifelong assets.
