Athletics PEI is conducting a series of Run Jump Throw Wheel clinics this summer for children ages 8-12.
The Run Jump Throw Wheel Program is designed to teach children the fundamentals of running, throwing, and jumping mechanics while promoting a fun and inclusive atmosphere!
What is Run, Jump, Throw, Wheel (RJTW)? It is Athletics Canada’s official grassroots program of physical activity for children and youth. RJTW contributes to the development of fundamental motor skills such as running, jumping, and throwing through a series of lessons that focus on skill acquisition, sport education and participatory/team competition. The program is designed to give elementary school-aged children a strong background in sports skills that will serve them well in other sports and throughout their lives. No matter what sport or physical endeavour children attempt in their lifetime, the mechanics of running, jumping, and/or throwing will inevitably come into play.
