The Newbury Park Track Club (NPTC) was founded in 1968, making it one of the oldest organizations for young athletes in the area. During the first year of its existence, there was competition for the older age divisions only (Youth and Intermediate).  A limited number of athletes from Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park competed as a part of the Western San Fernando Valley Conference.  The following year, the club was expanded to include all of the current age divisions, and membership grew to 30 members.  The Club's affiliation was changed to the Newbury Park Athletic Association (NPAA).  Competition was initiated with other Ventura County teams from Ventura, Ojai, Oxnard, and Camarillo.

In 1987, the Club split its membership by forming the Thousand Oaks Flyers.  The NPTC retained a membership of about 80 members, and established a dual association with the Ventura County YMCA as well as the NPAA.  In 1991, the nine clubs which formed the conference elected to disassociate with the YMCA and form an independent, non-profit California Corporation.  Subsequently, fees were reduced by over 30% while increasing the amount of benefits like secondary medical insurance.  NPTC membership stabilized at approximately 135 athletes.

The 1997 season combined the largest number of participants the Club has ever had along with a skilled and dedicated coaching staff.  Over 230 boys and girls, ages 5-15 represented our Club in the Ventura County Youth Track Conference.  In its continuing success story, NPTC athletes have set two individual and relay national youth records, and have had several individual national champions.  One of our former members ran on the championship national cross country team. NPTC athletes have competed in various National Youth Championship since 1982.  In 1996, our Club set league and county records, culminating in two of our athletes going on to successfully compete in the Junior Olympic National Championships.  In 2004, the Club exceeded 160 athletes, and various club records were broken.  The club membership for the 2005 season exceeded 235 athletes, making it the largest to that point!  Certainly, the new facilities contributed to the increase in the number of runners.  In 2009 and 2010, the club membership reached the maximum of 275 total athletes!
