More About This Unit
What do our 4th Grade Track & Field lesson plans cover?
In Grade 4 Track & Field, students will learn, develop, and refine techniques and actions needed for a range of athletic disciplines. They continue to develop running, jumping, and throwing skills in isolation and combination.
Our 4th Grade Track & Field lessons help children understand which throwing and jumping techniques are required to achieve maximum distance and height, and appropriate pace judgement when running for distance.
Why are Track & Field lessons important for elementary-age children?
Track & Field lessons fulfil curriculum requirements of developing balance, agility, and coordination, flexibility, strength, technique, and control. These motor competence components are valuable, and transferable, in all other sports, as well as helping promote children to lead healthy, active lifestyles.
Elementary School Track & Field is also great for building confidence, developing social skills, and allowing children to recognize and celebrate their successes.
