It is true that teaching athletics is an integral part of physical education in elementary and middle schools. However, the one-sided approach taken by the physical education teacher at school or the coach at the club often results in distancing the student or the young athlete from the athletics track.

This book places special emphasis on playful teaching of the techniques of athletics events for schools and clubs. The aim is to make physical education or training more engaging.

The contents of the book are aimed at elementary and middle school students, as well as athletes in the mini and junior categories. The book is directed toward students of physical education departments focusing on both theoretical and practical approaches to athletics, physical education teachers who are not specialized in athletics and need to teach it at school, and coaches of clubs working with athletes of such sensitive ages.
