JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT
9 to 13 year old
A gradual introduction to the sport of Track & Field and Cross Country. Open to children 9 to 13 yo who want to try the sport or who want to enhance their skills playing other sports. No prerequisite to register.
What we offer:
They get to try all the various disciplines within our sport: Sprints, Hurdles and Relays, Jumps, Throws, Endurance & Walks. Athletes can specialize towards certain disciplines by age 12/13.
Once comfortable, athletes are encouraged to test their new skills in competition. Competition season is typically from
May to July and there are opportunities to compete at in-club meets or other BC Athletics sanctioned meets.
Goal of the program:
To provide a fun and safe environment for children to learn physical literacy skills and stay active.
At the end of the program, children will gain a general understanding of track & field events and begin to find their focus as they transition to their next phase of athletic development.
