Making Fundamentals Fun

Children who learn fundamental running, jumping and throwing movement skills through track and field acquire a strong foundation for success in all other sports and physical activities. Run Jump Throw helps children prepare for a lifetime of excellence and diversity in active living.

Run Jump Throw uses a fun and active learning environment. The program focuses on the enhancement of physical fitness, health and physical development for children 7 to 12 years of age. 

A head start to a healthy life

The goal of Run Jump Throw is to supply a program of physical activity that serves as a strong foundation for all sports. Highly regarded by Sport Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development expert group, Run Jump Throw assists children in learning to move efficiently so that they grow into adults who are active, productive and healthy citizens.

Did you know?
  • There is a “critical period” of motor skills development in youth that if missed will limit a child’s athletic potential for the rest of his/her life. For girls this window of opportunity is 8-11 years of age and for boys it is 9-12 years of age.

  • Girls are often introduced later than boys to the basic skills needed to excel in sport.
