Description:
This U10 – U14 age is split into two groups: The U10s + U12s (born 2016-2019) & the
U14s (born 2014/2015).
The U10s/U12s will be coached in multi-events including (Includes Sprints, Middle
Distance, Standing Long Jump, Long Jump, Shot Put, Turbo Javelin & Ball Throw). This
age range will be around 70% track & field event specific training & 30% fun games that
promote physical literacy. A typical practice would be 30 minutes Warm-Up, 30 minutes
Workout, 20 minutes games, 10 minutes Cool-Down + Stretching.
The U14s will be coached in multi-events including (Includes Sprints, Hurdles, Middle
Distance, Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put, & Discus). This age range will be primarily
focused on track & field specific event training, & around 5% fun games that promote
physical literacy (potentially every second Friday the U14s would join the U10s/U12s in
some games). A typical practice would be 30 minutes Warm-Up, 45 minutes Workout,
15 minutes Cool-Down + Core + Stretching.
U14 athletes in the Outdoor Season have the ability (with permission from Coach
Richard as well as the other events Coach) to try out the U16+ older groups
(Sprints/Hurdles/Jumps or Distance) somewhere between once a week & once every
two weeks to get an idea of which group they want to join when they become U16.
These sessions are at the same facility; however, the U16 groups start 30 minutes
earlier.
