Run Jump Throw is based on the philosophy that the development of skills, in a fun environment, is

movement techniques. This course is aimed at people who will be organising and teaching/coaching
Run Jump Throw lessons and Athletic Sports Events within your club environment.
It offers a chance to explore a traditional physical activity setting with a clear focus on quality
experiences for all athletes. This course relates closely to the current thinking as represented through
the Physical Activity and Active Schools Initiatives.

• The concept of Run Jump Throw
• Growth & Development
• Fair Play
• Coaching Tips
• Skills Approach

and two more clubs in the 2014/15 season . If any clubs are interested in this programme for their
Under 7 age group please contact [email protected]
Get Set Go is an Athletics NZ programme for young children that aims to improve their skills and
increase their physical activity through fun and purposeful games and activities. Get Set Go includes
a whole variety of new activities for kids and their parents to have fun with. Get Set Go is supported
by Active Post and New Zealand’s Get Set Go Amabassador is our world famous – world champion
Valerie Adams.
Athletics NZ has developed the Get Set Go activities relating to athletics. Coaching Cue cards have
been developed to go with these activities, which make it VERY easy for parents and caregivers to
get involved. The Get Set Go programme strength is the availability of comprehensive resources and
the flexibility that it allows clubs. It is a one-stop-shop for a child’s sporting/movement skill
development.
This course is for anyone overseeing the Get Set Go programme at their club and for any parents
and teenage athletes who are keen to help out on their club day/club night with this age group.
These courses are run by Vanessa Chatfiled, Athletics NZ’s Get Set Go regional coordinator.
