Amager Atletik Club invites 8-9 year olds to winter athletics training. Each session opens with warm-up, stretching and coordination exercises, which can feel tricky at first but come more easily after a few visits.
Training then moves on to athletics disciplines chosen by the coaches, usually two per session, such as shot put and sprints. Many drills are built around games, for example a relay weaving between cones with bean bags, and the session usually ends with a play activity. Social time matters too, so the aim is for children to enjoy coming along.
