The objectives of the East Palo Alto Greyhounds, is to establish scholastic standards, excellence in training, and travel opportunities that will set the precedence of our Association. Sports program within the communities school setting have been drastically cut, leaving the children of East Palo Alto without avenues to direct their time and energy. These children are continually at risk for misdirection and violence. Our Association runs on a year round basis. Our members age ranges are from 5-18 years. We compete in various athletic competitions throughout the year, primarily on the weekends. This means that our Association usually runs 6-7 days a week.
