The primary objective of this clinic is to provide our young athletes with early exposure to the new events they will be participating in. This early introduction will not only facilitate their skill development but also ensure they are well-prepared for the start of the Summer athletics calendar in week 1. Additionally, the clinic serves as a valuable orientation point for parents, helping them better understand the new events and offering insights that can assist them as officials during competitions.
Here are the new and added events that will be introduced to these age groups for the upcoming Little Athletics Track & Field Season:
For U8: 60m Hurdles (replacing junior hurdles), 700m Walk, High Jump Scissors
For U11: 80m Hurdles (replacing 60m Hurdles), Javelin, High Jump, Fosbury Flop, Triple Jump, 1500m, Long Jump – Utilizing the board Blocks/Spikes
We believe that this Skills Clinic will provide an excellent platform for both athletes and parents to familiarize themselves with these new events and ensure a smooth transition into the upcoming season.
