How do I explain track & field to a young child?

Explain track and field to a young child as a group of running, jumping and throwing events where you try to beat your own best. Start with a short race, a standing jump and a relay handoff. Let's Learn Track and Field! shows a child ages 3 to 8 why a relay handoff matters and how teammates cheer each other on.

Track & Field book questions

What age is the Champion MVP Track & Field book for?

The Track & Field storybook is written for ages 3 to 8. Children ages 3 to 5 follow along through the illustrations while an adult reads aloud, ages 5 to 7 read it together with an adult, and ages 6 to 8 work through the puzzle book on their own.

When should I read the track and field book with my child?

The week before sign-ups or the night before the first practice. The story walks through what a first track and field practice feels like, including the nervous parts, so your child knows what to expect before they arrive.
