Little athletics program for schools (LAPS)
The objective is to develop students' knowledge, fundamental movement skills, and technical understanding of athletics so students can participate and compete safely and successfully.
Sessions can focus on running, jumping, throwing, or combining the three. It’s completely up to you! Some key ways you can make the most of our LAPS session are:
- To teach specific events that teachers may not be comfortable with.
- Weekly visits to deliver the curriculum’s compulsory athletics unit.
- Preparation for athletic carnivals (i.e. school sports days, SAPSASA, SACPSSA).
- Coaching assistance at Sports Days.
Little Athletics SA can provide school’s with a one-off visit or multiple visits throughout the term / year. Sessions can be before, during or after school, and we also offer our services at your School Sports Days.
