We rolled out a pilot program in March and April of 2016 for what we plan on being the beginning of a long-term athlete development curriculum for our designated Olympic Training Site and it's involvement in our surrounding community.
USA Track and Field created Run Jump Throw as a way to teach kids the basic foundations of all sports. This past Spring we worked with Southside Elementary in Johnson City and Roosevelt Elementary in Kingsport. Both locations had big turnouts. We are so thankful to these schools for allowing us the chance to help our community youth learn about and participate in sport.
We look forward to partnering with other organizations in furthering physical literacy in the Tri-Cities youth!
