Track and Field , Fall Outdoor Introduction
In these introductory programs athletes will learn the fundamentals of traditional track and field events such as sprints, middle and long distance running, hurdles, softball throw, standing long jump, and baton relays. We aim to teach proper form and focus, and of course enjoy some fun games once we've worked hard!
Throughout the session, athletes will have progress recorded to show their growth and personal improvement. If conditions permit, we plan to end the season with a final meet. Participants will receive an SPR Track T-shirt and Track Medal. Come run, jump, and throw with us!
Intro to Outdoor Track K-2
- Intro to Outdoor Track is an excellent primer for kids in grades K-2 to learn about running, throwing, and jumping activities through light workouts and play. In each session they will be introduced to specific disciplines such as sprinting or throwing in a low impact way that will culminate in a game at the end of this session. We will also discuss ways to stay active and healthy even if we don't choose to do organized sports- running for fun can be a lifelong pursuit!

- In this program we will focus on the standard track skills - Running, jumping, and throwing. However, we will also focus on completing moderate to hard workouts that put our skills to the test. Because you haven't really learned a skill until you can do it despite being tired.
- Please take note: In this program we will engage in vigorous exercise, please make sure this aligns with your young ones ability/motivation level before signing up. Thank you!
