What is IAAF Kids’ Athletics?

What are the principles on which IAAF Kids’ Athletics is based?

• That a large number of children can be active simultaneously
• That a variety of the basic athletic movements of run, jump and throw are
experienced by all participants
• That all participants contribute to a final team result
• That modifications to the prescribed activities are encouraged to meet the
individual ability of the participants
• That experiential learning is emphasized and encouraged
• That activities are easy to organize and administer
• That children “do”, while instructors/coaches facilitate the “doing”.

IAAF Kids’ Athletics offers a holistic approach to training children – not only the
physical but social and emotional considerations shape our training

Equipment
• Modified equipment ensures that the activities are accessible to children
• Soft throwing equipment results in more throws, more often by more
children
• Movement patterns can be practiced and established without “official”
equipment
• Brightly colored equipment is enticing.

Universal Design
• The IAAF Kids’ Athletics was developed with a Universal Design Approach
• No matter the level of athlete or if they have an impairment, the Kids’
Athletics concept can be adapted to suit the needs of the participant
• For tips on inclusion and modification ideas, please refer to your Sports
Connect Resource, which can be found on your participants portal.

 IAAF Kids’ Athletics Program Essentials

• Keep it fun

• Focus on and establish ABC:

• Agility
• Balance
• Coordination

Fundamental movement skills are the first layer of skills that need to be established

Fundamental skills must be established before adding technical skills

There are logical progressions to learning

Establish sound hopping,
Learning the alphabet is a Learn how to effectively
bounding and jumping
fundamental skill of throw a tennis ball before
skills before teaching triple
reading learning to throw Javelin
jump

IAAF Kids’ Athletics Session Progressions
Move from simple to complex

Move from general to specific

Double leg movements are easier than single leg

Forward movements are easier than backwards and lateral

Straight line is easier than curved

6
Self directed action is easier than following the directions of others.
Fundamental Movement Patterns of Running

Hands held in a relaxed position

Arms held at 90 degree angle

•Tip: In sprinting think of punching the elbows back
•Tip: In Middle Distance arms slightly more relaxed

Arms do not cross centre line of the body.

Run Tall

Running ‘shape’ - body tall, chest open, head relaxed, eyes ahead.

Mid foot landing underneath body.

•Tip: Listen for a light sound

Free leg: Thighs parallel to the ground.

•Tip: heel to butt

Back leg: full extension.

•Tip: push off the back leg

Toes up – “Dorsiflex” the foot.

Fundamental Movement Patterns of Jumping

Length of run up to support optimal speed at take off

Tip: Age of Student equals length of Run up e.g. 8 y/o, 8 steps back

Eyes focused forward

Tall upright position with hips up and forward at take off

Drive knee of free leg and fully extend planted leg

Trunk in a straight and stable

position

The Structure of the IAAF Kids’ Athletic Program

IAAF Kids’ Athletics will be structured within the Sporting Schools Program to
focus on learning in the initial sessions, culminating in a fun, team based event in
the final session.

The learning sessions of the IAAF Kids’ Athletics will build on the fundamental
movement patterns of run, jump and throw and will build the specific movement
patterns that will enhance active participation in the team event.

Teamwork is a basic principle of the IAAF Kids’ Athletics event. All team members
contribute to the results, reinforcing the concept that the participation of each
child is to be valued.

The IAAF Kids’ Athletics will be structured to focus on three-age groups or

learning phases:
• Beginner – recommended for Grades 1 and 2 students
• Intermediate – recommended for Grades 3 and 4 students
• Advanced – recommended for Grades 5 and 6 students.

Where there is a mix of age groups such as in before and after school sessions,
you will need to assess which level is appropriate to run.

Although the learning activities and team events will vary across the three-age
groups, the structure of the program will be common across all of the age-
groups:
• Initial learning phase focussing on the fundamental movement patterns of
run, jump and throw and building skills that will enhance participation in the
team event
• Final session – a team event engaging all participants in all events. This
event is uniquely tailored to the developmental needs of children rather
than a scaled model of adult competition. The final session is intended to
bring excitement into playing Athletics.

IAAF Kids’ Athletics Team Event
Scoring

Each program culminates with a final session devoted to the Team Event.

If you have helpers with your program you may like to score the team event.

Although the team event activities will vary across the three age-groups, the
following details about event scoring are consistent across all Team Events:

In summary, the scoring system is based on the following guidelines:

• All events in the Team Event session can be scored

• The maximum score depends on the number of teams competing

For example if 6 teams are competing the highest placed team for
each event scores 6 points, the second team gets 5 points, the third
team gets 4 points, the fourth team gets 3 points, the fifth team gets 2
points and the sixth team gets 1 point

• The winner of the team event is the team that reaches the highest
total score at the completion of all events.

Score Sheet A:
Some events are scored by the total team time/distance recorded. The
lowest team time recorded gains the maximum points and the highest
team distance recorded gains maximum points.

Score Sheet B:
Some events are scored by the total of individual best performances being
combined to produce a team result. The highest team distance covered
gains the maximum points.

IAAF Kids’ Athletics
Tips for delivering this program

 The delivery of the Kids’ Athletics program should be managed appropriately, and
the safety of participants should always be the primary consideration for the coach

 All coaches should be aware of their legal responsibility to provide a “duty of care”
to the participants of the program, and coaches must ensure that an adequate
level of direct supervision is provided at all times

 When delivering the session plans, please consider at all times the individual needs
of the participants

 Ensure that instructions to the participants are as brief as possible so that

participants are quickly engaged in the activities

Safety considerations
• Always check that the playing area is safe and free of hazards

• Ensure that the playing area surface is a safe and appropriate surface for the
activities

• Ensure that the playing area is a safe distance away from walls and other fixed
objects

• Always set up activities so that there is a safe distance between groups and
between individual participants

• Ensure that all equipment is appropriate and safe for the activity. Be prepared to
modify equipment and activities to reduce risk

• Ensure that participants are directly supervised at all times

• Always provide clear instructions for activities and for the use of equipment

• When organising relays, ensure a sufficient space between groups to avoid

collisions and interference

• Throwers should always be placed a minimum of 5metres apart when performing

slinging throws and a minimum of 2metres apart on all other throws

• For throwing activities, left handed throwers should always be placed on the left
hand side of the group

• Always use throw and collect cue words

• Participants not throwing must always remain well clear from throwers
33
• Throwing implements should always be carried back rather than thrown
