--- 7 - 14 yrs --- IMPROVING SKILLS [Open | Close]

The aim is to have fun and learn new skills with a focus on achieving personal bests.

This will not only make you a better athlete, but will assist your ability in other sports by helping you fun faster, jump higher and throw further.

 

The 7-14 year olds begin their club night straight after the Under 6 years age group on a Wednesday night at 5:45pm.

 

Athletes line up in the designated area and sign in with their Grade Manager, who takes the age group through the track and field events following a two week program.

A list of events for each age group is available under the 'Events For Each Age Group' heading.

 

Points are awarded for attendance, achieving personal bests and place getters in each event.

These points are totalled at the end of the season for the prize giving night where a number of awards and trophies are available.

 

Regular events and open days are held around Auckland where athletes can compete for ribbons or medals.

Athletes can also choose to attend the major events such as the Colgate Games, or they may be selected for club or inter provincial teams.

 

We are lucky to have access to expert coaching for athletes who wish to further their skills.

Training sessions are available to anyone interested on Thursday evenings.

 

Parents are urged to become involved with the running of the club night to help things run smoothly.

Whether this is by helping an age group at an event, measuring throws or time keeping.

No prior experience is required.

--- 2 - 6 years --- CLUB NIGHT [Open | Close]

TOTS(tiny)

CLUB NIGHT

Every Wednesday night 5.15pm – 5.45pm

 

EVENTS

2 – 4yrs         3 x Track Races

To help your child gain the confidence to feel comfortable, PARENT PARTICIPATION is essential.  Sit with your child in the line so they begin to socialize with other children, DON’T take them up on the hill side away from the environment.  Stand at the start line and run with them but run ahead – don’t go too far as it may be upsetting, take your time and eventually you’ll be waving your hand from the finish line. 

 

5 – 6yrs         2 x Field – 1 throw and 1 jump

          2 x Track with crouch start which is compulsory at 7yrs

                    

A slight change to the programme putting it in line with the juniors (7 – 14).  Points will continue as normal for track and we will introduce points for positional places in field for Shot Put, Long Jump and Discus.  We will introduce the children to the High Jump (no bar) and this will be a non-points event.

 

We would like you to encourage your child to run alone.  If this is not yet possible, speak with the grade manager and we will allow you to follow the same processes as the 2 – 4yrs.

 

   PAK RUN

This is a non-points event and is open to all age groups 2yrs+, non-members are welcome to join in.  It is a 1000m FUN RUN around the top of the dome and parents can run, jog or walk with their children.  Meet at the top by the lights for an approximate 6pm start.

 

POINTS

Each week points are awarded and accumulate to find the overall winners for each age group.

 

         Attendance                    2 POINTS

         1^st Place                        4 POINTS 

         2^nd Place                       3 POINTS

         3^rd Place                        2 POINTS 

         4^th Place                        1 POINT

 

FAIR PLAY AND SPORTSMANSHIP

Please DON’T drag, push or pull your child as this is considered an unfair advantage.  Soft gestures, to guide them in the right direction are ok.  Encourage your child as well as others.  Our focus – FUN FIRST.

 

PARENT VOLUNTEERS

Each week we rely on parent volunteers, without you club night would not be successful.  We ask that EVERYONE make an effort, this way club night can be enjoyed by all.  VOLUNTEER, IT’S EASY

 

GRADE MANAGER AND ASSISTANT

Assistants tick names on the roll sheet for attendance and organize children for each race, then record positional placings and collect tags.  We require volunteers for all grades, boys and girls.         

 

2girls, 2boys, 3girls, 3boys, 4girls, 4boys, 5girls, 5boys, 6girls, 6boys

 

PLACE GETTER / FLAG WAVER

We require place getters to hand out positional tags to the first four athletes to cross the finish line.  Sometimes it can be difficult to decide who actually finished where.  Don’t worry too much.  It’s ok to hand out equal positions for all places.

2 – 4yrs X 4 place getters

5 – 6yrs X 4 place getters

Once positional tags have been handed out, ask the children to walk from the track to their grade manager, then wave the flag to indicate to the starter you are ready for the next race to start.

 

STARTER

We require one person, preferably a parent from the 4yrs age group to start all races for 2 – 4yrs.  Before you start a race, place yourself behind the starters in the middle.  Make sure you use your loudest voice so that all children hear you clearly.  5 – 6yrs will be introduced to the starting gun.

 

HOW TO START A RACE

  

Stand                             3 feet behind the start line.

 

Take your mark   move quickly up to the start line.

 

Set                                    stand in starting stance with one foot forward and one foot back

 

Go                     Clap or Bang

 

 

HOW TO FINISH A RACE

 

Walk back    When you cross the finish line, stay in your lane and walk back to

                                 the line, even if you do not finish with a placing.

 

Retrieve      Tags will only be handed over to a child if they walk back to the

                                 finish line.

 

Sit Down         Wait at the next start line for your grade manager, hand your

                                 positional tag to them.

TRACK RULES

 

RULE #1    STAY OFF THE TRACK

 

RULE #2    STAY OFF THE FIELD

 

 

Parents and athletes, for safety reasons, do not cross the 

field or track. The track may be used by older athletes  

wearing spiked shoes, or using Javelin, Shot put or  

Discus. Please teach them to be aware of these hazards

by following the rules yourself.

New crouch start rules [Open | Close]

  

Compulsory crouch start

All athletes ages 7 - 14 MUST use a crouch start for events up to and including 400m.  If an athelete is wearing spikes, they MUST use starting blocks. 

Pakuranga Junior Track & Field want to encourage our athletes to be confident and the crouch start will be introduced through the Tiny Tot section with the 5 and 6 yrs.
