Participants learn the fundamentals involved with improving flexibility, proper stretching, body positioning, developing core-strength, improving balance, cool-down techniques and other fitness concepts as they relate to exercising and the jumping, running and throwing skills involved in the sport of track and field. Boys and girls will participate in fitness games as well as sprints, relays, long-distance walking, running hurdles, long jump, discus throw and other track and field events. Children participate in a fun-filled track and field meet on the last day of class. Each participant should bring a water bottle. Supervisor: Nick Bacarella
