Shooting

Shooting sports have been included in almost every Summer Olympic Games since beginning of the modern Olympics in 1896. In our RoadtoRio workshops, the shooting activity will help develop the children’s accuracy and skill as they aim to place a series of darts as close as possible to the centre of the target.

The average Olympic volleyball player jumps over 300 times in every game! In this energetic activity, children will work in small teams to learn how to defend their area, while scoring as many points as possible in each game.

Shot Put

The shot put is a test of strength, power and skill and has been a key event in each Olympic Games since 1896. In this activity, children will throw for distance and accuracy, by aiming for floor targets to score as many points as possible.
