Program Information

The focus of the Cheetahs program is to introduce athletes between the ages of 8 and 11 to the sport of track and field while at the same time developing fundamentals of the sport and a general foundational level of fitness that will benefit these young athletes in all aspects of their lives.  We follow the Long-Term Athlete Development Plan as set forth by Athletics Canada. 

 

Each practice athletes will spend time building fitness and strength for their running events and practicing technique for their field events. Several competitions will be highlighted during the season.  Towards the beginning of a season emphasis will be more on the fitness and conditioning aspect of track and as competitions draw nearer an emphasis on technique. There are many different approaches taken to each practice with very little repetition, keeping young athletes interested.

 

The Cheetah Program is run in three distinct sessions.

Session 1

Through a fun based education incorporating drills, games, running, and strength and agility, this program will focus on the fundamentals of running efficiencies. The group will have the opportunity to compete at two cross country meets including Cross Country Provincial Championships.
