Beijing Track & Field
After a successful first season, our Track and Field program is back by popular demand in what should be a very high profile sport in this Olympic year. We all know every child can run, jump and throw, but why is that some are better than others? Well, the simple truth is that the faster runners and stronger jumpers and throwers learned the proper techniques at a young age, and then of course, practiced, practiced, and practiced!!! With the right techniques and goals, steady improvement to beat your previous best marks make the training and practice fun. Boys and girls aged 10 to 14 are invited to discover the different disciplines in track and field. The program emphasizes training to develop techniques for short distance running (up to 400 meters), hurdles, and long jump. We may also introduce high jump, javelin and shot put. Even if the children decide not to compete in track and field, this training will always provide benefit as they get older since the techniques and skills learned and earned provide a foundation for all other sports.
Sports Beijing is very grateful to coach Magnus Pettersson for starting this program, however Magnus will not be able to continue as head coach so we are seeking another coach to lead this program. If you are interested in coaching the track & field program please contact Sports Beijing.
