The program provides a free, grassroots introduction to track and field, focusing on individual skill development and fostering self-confidence through outdoor experiences.
The Youth Enrichment Services (YES) Summer Track and Field Program introduces young athletes, ages 6-14, to the fundamentals of track and field in a supportive and engaging environment. Participants learn basic running and stretching techniques, focusing on conditioning and skill-building in various track and field events. These include hurdles, turbo javelin, long jump, throwing, sprinting, and distance running. The program emphasizes individual development, allowing youth to track their progress and build self-confidence. Through weekly practices and participation in local meets, children develop physical skills, a lifelong appreciation for healthy activities, and a sense of accomplishment.
A typical session involves learning basic running and stretching, conditioning exercises, and small-group instruction in specific track and field events like hurdles, turbo javelin, long jump, throwing, sprinting, and distance running.
This program is ideal for youth aged 6-14 who are looking to learn the basics of track and field, develop physical skills, and gain self-confidence in an individual sport setting.
