Little Athletics Begins

The 2014/15 season for little athletics is well under way. Katy is in her first year of under 6's and enjoying it thoroughly. Helps when there are few friends participating too! The focus for the under 6's is exposure to the variety of techniques and procedures in a fun and non threatening way.

Katy has completed many obstacle races - jumping over streams, leaping hurdles and trotting over ladders; learnt the two main concepts of throwing - helicopters and putting; practiced lots of race starts; mastered the long jump take off and last week began to learn high jump with the scissor kicks!

Ella is in under 8's and has a great group of 10 or so girls who are improving as each week passes.

Of course the best bit of the day is cooling down with an ice block at the end!!
