Racewalk Clinic Thursday,
June 19, 6:00PM, Bowen Field, New Haven, CT
Several meets this summer have opportunities for kids to
participate in the Racewalk event, many times kids give all the other events a try
but think that the Racewalk is a odd looking event or it looks too complicated.
Racewalking is an Olympic Event and has been since 1904. Its a technique event that
requires skill but it can be easy to learn. Many countries have Racewalking as part
of their Track and Field programs, starting the kids when they are young, in these
countries Racewalking is a big deal. At the World Racewalking Cup held in Russia
just a month ago, they had 17,000 spectators. More colleges now have Racewalking
as a scoring event, a few give combination Track/ Racewalking scholarships.
We want to give the kids in this area a chance to experience
the event. This will be a beginners Racewalk Clinic focused on helping youth athletes
learn the rules for the Racewalk event. We will give instructions to the group and
then work individually as well.
This is short notice but we wanted to have a clinic before
the Jr Olympic State meet on June 22. (We will also have a brief instruction before
the race on that day)
New Haven Age Group Club have been nice enough to let us
have a clinic at the beginning of their practice at Bowen Filed at 6pm. Hope you
can join us.
