Back for another season, The Shooting Stars! Runner's Life's Youth Run Group!Our Mission:
Our goal is to introduce the joy of running to youth in a safe, enjoyable atmosphere appropriate for their age. The club will be for youth, ages 7-13 of all abilities, no fitness background or running experience necessary. The beauty of running is it's diversity and we want to introduce that to the next generation of runners. Whether the child wants to push their limits or simply enjoy being outdoors with other like minded kids, we will nurture them with the right tools so they can flourish at their own rate and ambition. Making little Champions isn't our goal, our goal is to teach kids about running, sport, dedication and goal setting and how it can be fun and rewarding, especially in a social environment. The little Champion part is their choice.
Training:
The Shooting Stars will meet at 5:30pm on Wednesday's starting Sept 10th at Jackson Park, Pagoda Bridge (Parkhill & Fairbairn) Parking is available. We will also meet at Nichol's Oval and St. Peter's track, notice will be given for those practices. Practice will last 60-70min and will include a proper warm up, drills and technical work, stretching, an age appropriate workout and a cool down. Workouts are set and supervised by:
Dave Dame, a certified, experienced coach that will ensure workouts are fun and motivating while still challenging at an appropriate level for each child.
Parents are welcome to volunteer coach. If you coach your kid(s) are in the program for free! Please contact Dave if you'd like to volunteer coach, [email protected] or 705-876-8960.
Your child's attendance at every practice isn't mandatory but like anything, the more you put into it the more you'll get out.
