This short electronic video illustrates that Track and Field provides
the foundation of almost all other sports and by extension underscores
the potential value of this sport in the development of fundamental
human movement capacities in all citizens. Children who learn
fundamental running, jumping and throwing movement skills through Track
and Field acquire a strong foundation for success in all other sports
and physical activities. This is the value of the sport of Athletics –
preparing Canadians for a lifetime of excellence and diversity in active
living.
