Junior Athletics / Sports & Field Events

ven Hills Junior Track & Field Training is a structured after-school athletics program designed to help younger students build their athletic skills, coordination and confidence in a fun, supportive and encouraging environment.

Throughout Term 4, students will take part in a variety of track and field activities covering the key areas of running, jumping, throwing, coordination, agility, balance and general fitness. Sessions are designed to introduce students to athletics fundamentals while giving them plenty of opportunities to practise new skills, stay active and challenge themselves.

Training may include sprint starts, running technique, relay activities, hurdles, long jump, standing jump activities, throwing technique, modified shot put, discus, javelin and other age-appropriate track and field events. Sessions also include warm-ups, movement games, coordination challenges and team-based activities to keep training engaging and enjoyable.

Our coaches focus on teaching students the correct fundamentals in a positive and inclusive environment. Children are encouraged to develop at their own pace, support their teammates and become more confident participating in school sport and athletics activities.

The program is suitable for students with a wide range of experience. Children do not need to already participate in athletics or be highly competitive. Beginners can learn the basics in a comfortable environment, while students with previous experience can continue developing their technique, speed, coordination and overall athletic ability.

Each session will generally include a structured warm-up, movement and coordination activities, focused skill development, track or field event practice, fitness or team challenges and a short cool-down. Activities will vary throughout the program so students experience a broad range of athletics disciplines rather than repeating the same event each week.
