Children will have the opportunity to practice and become familiar with the basic techniques involved in running, jumping and throwing events. Enjoyment and having fun are the key factors in this age group.
P4-P5 | Ages 7-9
As the sessions progress, we will introduce additional events and technical aspects to the athletics activities and continue to build on the foundations of good technique, enjoyment and a healthy lifestyle.
P6-S1 | Ages 9-12
Children should begin to demonstrate their development and aptitude for various events with increased confidence, enjoyment and enthusiasm.
There will be more focus in improving performance and an introduction to some of the competitive elements of athletics.
Athletics Club
The RJT sessions will help prepare children for joining the main athletics club at Livingston in the future.
The athletics club sessions are for children who are keen to develop their athletic skills further, take part in competitions regularly and train every week.
Children move to the club sessions between ages 11-12 at the appropriate stage of their development.
We usually expect children to have completed at least two RJT blocks and have taken part in competitions before moving to a club group.
