SPAR International once again partnered with the Female Coaching Network (FCN) to run the SPARK Kids Athletics Park (SPARK), promoting the sport to the next generation of athletes.

Onsite athletics training for kids

Throughout the three days of the competition, the FCN team held workshops, coaching hundreds of children on the three main athletics disciplines of running, jumping and throwing. Children flocked to the SPARK area to follow in the footsteps of their heroes and try out what they had just witnessed in the stadium.

The team of coaches  worked hard to ensure each child took away some training tips as well as a newfound enjoyment for the sport.

In addition to physical exercise, SPAR aims to educate future generations of athletes on how healthy eating can contribute to growth and development, and as such, the popular Nutrition Zone throwing game was also present at the Championships.

A crew was on site to film all the action at SPARK for an exclusive video to be used by SPAR for future sports sponsorship promotions.

The educational video, which will be available soon to all SPAR partners, will demonstrate all that goes into an athlete’s preparation for a competition including nutrition, mental preparation and of course warming up. For more photo’s click here.
