BC Athletics & BC Golf team up to host youth sport program workshop!

BC Athletics and BC Golf have teamed up to provide a one day workshop to become trained as a RunJumpThrow program instructor and Playground to Fairway school golf program coach. 

The RunJumpThrow program serves as a quality physical literacy program, whose main goal is to teach children fundamental movement skills that form a basis of all land based sports. Trained RunJumpThrow instructors are available to conduct FUN, SAFE and age appropriate lessons in a number of settings such as elementary schools, recreation programs and multi-sport camps to help develop physical literacy in children. RJT Learning Facilitator services provide every coach with the skills and knowledge to successfully teach the basics of movement to all their students. 

The Playground to Fairway School Golf Program introduces basic golf skills to school-aged children across BC in a simple, safe and fun way. Each session is guided by a trained coach, in a comfortable setting to ensure kids have a positive experience learning the basics of golf. Following the session, schools interested in starting a golf program can partner with BC Golf to access resources and implement programming. 

The one day workshop will provide

  • RJT instructor training
  • Playground to Fairway School Golf Coach training
  • ability to run a P2F School golf program and be compensated for your time
