Children's Games
The Children's games are loosely modeled after the adult
professional and amateur athletics' events and are open to children
up to 15 years of age. Athletes will be on hand to
work with the kids Sunday morning. Children compete in four or five different
events (depending on their age), and compete within their own age bracket: 5
and under, 6/7, 8/9, 10/11 and 12 and over.
The events include foot races, bale tossing, brick throwing, the discus
(Frisbee) throw, and the "caber" toss (the caber is a hollow
cardboard tube for the younger participants and a miniature version of the real
caber for older children). Ribbons are
awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place finishers. All others get a participant ribbon. The
field is usually crowded, so heats are run with several competitors at a
time. Each participant gets to keep
their "discus".
Please check our schedule for event times and be prepared to have
fun……
We are also looking
for parents of the participants to volunteer as coaches and judges.
If you are interested in being a volunteer, register
on line.
