Mini-Gerries Youth Running Program

Mini-Gerries Youth Running Program
Mini-Gerries Logo The Mini-Gerries Program is designed to introduce young runners to the basics of track and field training-specifically the running events. Sprinting, middle distance running, and relays are practiced with an emphasis on fun, skill development and personal improvement.

Participants are divided into ability/age groups and focus on exercises, drills and games that match their current abilities. A typical practice begins with a short warm-up run, followed by an active warm-up routine and drills to practice proper running form and mechanics. These drills are followed by instruction in one or two events. The final 10-15 minutes of each session is spent playing a running-related game, such as ultimate frisbee, soccer, obstacle course relay. A short stretching session completes each session. Sessions last approximately 75 minutes.

We hope that runners will leave the Mini-Gerries Program with an improved fitness level, good running mechanics, and a desire to continue in the sport.

Practices are at the Manitoulin Secondary School at 6:00-7:15 am and will be held every Monday and Wednesday from May 5th to the end of June 2008. T-Shirts for all participants.
