Our first practices went well. I was able to be at yesterday and today's practices, and I saw alot of smiling runners--even in the frigid temperatures!
As a group we talked about the importance of warming up our muscles and stretching, and then we went through our stretching routine. We also went over team and track rules.
The team then split into their age-groups. The Yellow (5 and under) and Green (6 and 7 yr olds) groups learned the difference between jogging, running, and sprinting. They also learned three dynamic movement exercises: high-knees, bum-kicks, and bounding. Have your child demonstrate these to you if you want to learn, too!
The Blue (8-12 yr boys) and Pink (8-12 yr girls) groups worked on their dynamic movement exercises, too. They are harder to learn than they look, but all were catching on the more they worked at it! We do these exercises to further prep our muscles for fast-movement.
