Athletikidz Holiday Athletics Clinic Day 2

triple jump

Day 2 and we are ready for it. Today was a lovely one. We had perfect weather for a good Athletikidz Holiday Athletics Clinic. When the kids arrived they could see there scores of the first day and team goofy was in serious debt so they were all pumped up to get back on the game. On the program we had Javelin and Triple jump as the two big events and as warming up we started this day with a nice session of coach says. Everybody had to do crazy things and when the coach called freeze they had to stand still. Everybody that still moved was out! After the warm up all the teams had tot come up with a their own goofy dans. So they had 5 minutes to made one up and when Kathleen blowed here whistle and shouted goof up they had to do their move immediately. The quickest response and best performance got bonus points. So now the kids had to be sharp during the sessions because Kathleen could blow the whistle every time she wanted.

The SAQ skills program of today contained some nice drills. Everybody had to make pairs and compete each other on hurdle jumps. So when every body was really warm Coach Inge started learning the kids all about throwing javelin. The had to learn the basic on there bottom so that they learned to use their arms the right way. After the basics they learned how to throw javelin with tennis balls and after some pretty impressive practice rounds it was time to bring it up to the next level and let hem throw the real deal. We made hoops for points and the team that scored the most points got themselves a step further for the big price on Friday! After throwing javelin we had a quick pro nutro bar break. We started running out of time so we had to start right away with the triple jump exercise. We made little dots on the field where they had to practice there landing and after a proper practice round we put in some elements that had to make it a harder. We used boxes so the kids really needed to use the right technique. During the exercise we let the boys compete against the girls and the girls won BIG TIME. 

But time flies when you're heaving fun so we had to work towards the end. We had a relay as final for the day and the winner was Goofy. So they have fought back today and returned towards the top position. 

Good vibes!
