Each month, the USATF Youth Programs department recognizes our youth athletes, coaches, and other contributors throughout the nation. RunJumpThrow (RJT) provides children a fun chance to learn and practice the foundational skills of all sports — running, jumping, and throwing. These skills are the core of track and field and can be applied on the track or on nearly any other sport’s playing field.
The RJT activities may be held anywhere — in a gym, on a field, on a track, or at a playground. It is possible to put on a RJT Event with no equipment.
For further information, or if interested in hosting a USATF RunJumpThrow event, please contact runjumpthrow@usatf.org.
If you have a Youth Athlete, Youth Coach, or Youth Program Contributor that should be recognized in the Youth Spotlight area, please submit information and photos to youthprograms@usatf.org for consideration.
