Program Structure
Girls on the Run offers unique programs for different age groups. The "Girls on the Run" curriculum was developed specifically for 3rd -5th graders, while the "Girls on Track" curriculum was created to address issues affecting 6th -8th graders.
The curriculum encompasses the following three concepts:
Weeks 1-4: All About Me...Getting to Know Who I Am and What I Stand For!
Weeks 5-8: Building My Team...Understanding the Importance of Cooperation
Weeks 9-10: Community Begins with Me...Learning About Community and Designing Our Own Community Project
Each session focuses on a particular lesson, such as "Valuing What's Really Important," "Learning to Listen," and "Standing Up for Myself" and is structured as follows:
Each session begins with a warm-up activity that introduces the girls to the day's topic.
The warm-up is followed by a stretching routine that allows for a topic-related question and answer dialogue.
During the workout period, the girls participate in a variety of running activities that utilize a game or a team goal.
Afterwards, cool-down stretching is combined with a review and discussion of the day's lesson that encourages participant questions.
Each session closes with positive words from the girls' coaches regarding individual and group behaviors.
To educate and prepare girls for al lifetime of self respect and healthy living!
