General Description
The track rascal program is a Run Jump Throw Wheel (RJTW) non-competitive program for those athletes between the ages of 6 – 8 who would like to try track and field for the first time and want a fun recreational experience. Developed by Athletics Canada, RJTW is the grassroots development program for our sport. This FUNdamentals program teaches the skills of running, jumping and throwing and the technical skill progressions for track and field events.
We support a maximum number of 48 total Rascals, who, for training, are separated into smaller groups and have a high coach to athlete ratio to help support safe and fun learning.
