More About This Unit
What do our 5th Grade Track & Field lesson plans cover?
In Grade 5 Track & Field, children 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 5th Grade Track & Field lesson plans help children understand what 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 are an essential part of elementary school PE. They can offer endless opportunities, as well as fulfilling 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.
