I have tried to reply to this a few times, hopefully it works this time? Training young kidsTurn the principles into a game Squat throw and chase with a little mediball is pretty easy Hills runs - even throw a tennis ball up the hill and the first to retrieve it wins… (first to 5 balls wins?) Tempo - I find they get good and mentally like this (just keep it shorter in distance, but keep the same time, eg, 75% of max speed tops, and lets say it takes an adult 15sec for 100m, then the kids just run for 15sec, then you blow a whistle or it might be only 50m or such - same principles but as a group of kids, they typically love it) Belly starts and chasing something (keep out of blocks) In a kids playground - squat jump up and grab a monkey bar - jump over things, climb things etc - Jump over a footpath There is lots to do - just do it with a smile
thanks, some good ideas there. a lot of that stuff I’m already doing in some form, but there is certainly plenty of new material for the future. thanks…
