The soundRUNNER Youth Running Program is an introduction into running. This program will help young athletes become aware of the importance of running in sport.  An experienced and USATF certified coach will guide the three times weekly sessions through a series of games, trail runs, and activities designed to improve fitness. Additionally, running is a great way to implement setting and achieving goals. These practices will also incorporate drills and exercises to improve posture and running efficiency.  There will be an opportunity to run in trails as well.

soundRUNNER has a comprehensive program that will familiarize your child with running trails and track, and also offer them information about nutrition, health, and proper shoe fit, and core stability.

 


For parents who have kids that are not really sure which sport is "their" sport, this program is for you.

The program consists of technique yes...but the kids get to explore the trails, neighborhoods, and the beaches around Branford.

Our class will be meeting at meet at the Pine Orchard Country Club on Friday, August 6 and 13th.
