Meeting 2 days per week for 5 weeks (Monday's and Wednesday's) a team of coaches led by Queen City Striders Program Coordinator, Elliot Prusi, will be providing a positive atmosphere where youth athletes can be inspired and motivated through the discipline of running. Additionally our youth will learn the principles of leadership, respect, and teamwork as well as portraying healthy habits to last a lifetime. We will break down the fundamental skills of running to meet the needs of all those participating. Our techniques will be taught through specific stretching, drills, bodyweight strength exercises, and of course RUNNING!
