Amager Atletik Club invites 8-9 year olds to a winter season of athletics training at Kastrupgaardskolen's outdoor tracks in Copenhagen. Each session opens with warm-up, stretching and coordination exercises, which can be tricky at first but come more easily after a few visits.
Training then focuses on different athletics disciplines set by the coaches, usually two per session, such as shot put and sprints. Most sessions finish with a game, and many drills are combined with play, such as a relay weaving between cones with bean bags. Social time is also a priority, so it is meant to be fun and friendly to come along.
