On the 5th of November, ACSi conducted their annual Sprint King event supported by Reactiv. This is the 2nd Sprint King event since and the participation has been going on well. The participants came from ACS (Junior) and ACS (Primary). Our target is to talent scout for sprinters from the ACS family. These athletes are in Primary 5 and this allows us to select our runners and offer DSA for the kids. Apart from sprinters selection, this is also a great chance for the kids to watch how the seniors train in Secondary level and also as an orientation for them if they should consider ACSi as their choice.
This year we have only 8 participants. The number doesn't seem convincing due to school holidays and many schools activities going on. Nevertheless, that did not stop us from running our Annual Sprint King event.
The seniors guided the P5 into our usual warm up routine and demonstrated the movement of the required drills and exercises. I strongly encourage mentorship as this is beneficial to both the seniors and juniors. By teaching, the seniors can also improve their own knowledge of the running technique.
We did drills and exercises and some agility runs to include some fun component in it. The races were done at the end of the session where the boys were required to sprint 60m for a round of heats and finals. From the group of boys, we identified a few potential sprinters and they were looking great during their drills and even in the race.
The participants were all given a T-shirt each, sponsored by Reactiv.
I am very excited about this project and I believe in the future this will be a big event that will attract much more athletes. All thanks to the ACS family, the teachers and coaches, student helpers who have helped out in this event.
See you next year :)
