Athletics is a sport that has reached all the schools in the country. However in the absence of a specially designed program for various age groups, this wonderful sport has been perceived as difficult and boring sport by our youth. This is due to the sheer ignorance of the child interest, growth and development related approach .
Considering this, BAAF has come up with the following initiatives to develop an athletic culture in the country through :
- Kids athletics – Age 7-12 Years
- Teen Athletics – Age 13-15 Years
- Youth and Junior Athletics – Age 16 + Years
- Middle long distance for youth and junior
- Road races for the rest.
A big change has come into effect after the launch of these initiatives.
