Track and Field
Come out to the Littleton track facility for a fun introduction to the sport of track & field. Children will learn the fundamentals of the sport, including proper warm up, form and speed drills, and proper cool down. Students will be divided by age group, and will be introduced to the different events of track & field, including sprints (50/100/200/400) and the use of starting blocks, hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put, turbo javelin, discus, and relays. The final day will be a low-key mini-meet to measure jumps and throws, and time sprints and hurdles, so participants can see how a track meet works. All skill levels are welcome!


Cross Country
The Introduction to Cross Country is intended to introduce children to the sport of Cross Country and to foster an interest and enjoyment of running on trails and in the woods. Sessions will focus on running form, cross country running techniques and will include runs of up to at least three miles in length.

Children will learn the fundamentals of running disciplines, including proper training and practice work outs, running form, speed and endurance drills.

Each session will focus on aspects of running form and improvement, explanations and demonstrations of various cross country workouts and their benefits, and group and/or individual running on trails. All sessions will end with proper cool down drills and stretching.
