Supervision

• On-site supervision is recommended during initial skill instruction.
• Proximity supervision is recommended following initial skill instruction and after all safety concerns have been emphasized.

Instructional Considerations

• Teachers should encourage students to build up endurance prior to an event.
• Teachers should encourage correct body alignment and running form for injury prevention.
• Teachers should encourage students to work at personal levels of intensity.
• Teachers should encourage students to participate at their level of comfort, focusing on participation, not performance.

Equipment/Facilities

• All runners should have appropriate footwear.
• Spikes and cleats should not be permitted for track runs.
