Run, Jump, Throw, Wheel (RJTW) 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 sport skills that will serve them well in other sports and throughout their lives. No matter what sport or physical endeavor children attempt in their lifetime, the mechanics of running, jumping, and/or throwing will inevitably come into play.
Operated in the fall, it is a four week session starting in the fall at the UPEI Outdoor Track. The age for this program is 8-12 year old, and if they are already a part of Youth Running Series then there is no cost. If they are not a member of Youth Running Series, then there will be a $20 cost per athlete. There is a maximum of 12 registrants for this program.
