Print this article | Send to Colleague
Run Jump Throw, is a hands-on learning program that introduces kids ages 7 through 12 to the basic skills of running, jumping and throwing through track and field. Hershey's Track & Field Games, a youth track and field program launched in the 1970s, will transition to the national Run Jump Throw program in 2015.
Local track meets will remain; however the program will focus on skill development and improvement of fundamentals -running, jumping and throwing, instead of competitive advancement to state/provincial meets and the North American Final. For youth who want to get more involved in track and field, local participants will learn about local track & field teams or clubs close to home. In addition, Hershey will sponsor the U.S. and Canadian National Youth Championships.
The Championship is an all-comers event for youth wanting to experience national competition. For more information, please contact USA Track & Field at runjumpthrow@usatf.org. |
