This document outlines the IAAF's long term athlete development program, which includes 6 stages from early childhood through retirement. Stage 1 is Kids' Athletics for ages 5-11, which focuses on health, physical literacy, socialization, and enjoyment through non-competitive team events using modified equipment. The IAAF has created an adapted competition model and educational materials to promote widespread participation in Kids' Athletics globally.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Competition at any time of the year - training is structured
for long term development, not ‘peaking’ for many
competitions
Competition

Competition is

6. Why Kids’ Athletics ?
The IAAF examined the current situation of the practice
of Athletics among children and was willing to make a
proposal tailored to the realities of children and of
today’s world.
7. The Current Situation
It is characterised by several factors:
" hardly any athletic practice is organised for children in many
countries
" when there is athletic practice in some countries, this is
elitist athletics with early specialisation of children
" lack of specific facilities and equipment in many countries
" The motor and physical level of children is on the decline
" The image of Athletics which is conveyed, is one of a sport
that is difficult, boring, demanding, naff, old-fashioned…etc.
8. Image of Athletics ?
Hardly any athletic practice for children in many countries:
- Outward difficulty of this sport
- Practical requirements are overestimated (track, etc.)
- Weakness of federal structures
- Idea of sports activity at a late stage
- Competition with other sports, games
10. Lack of Specific Facilities ?
Lack of specific facilities and athletic materials in
many countries:
- Few athletic facilities
- Few athletic materials
11. Elitist Policy
Early elitist practice in some countries:
- Early practice of competition is inappropriate
- Systematic elitism
- Early specialisation
- Unwell-trained coaching staff for children
12. Motor & Physical decline
Significant decline in the motor and
physical potential of children:
- Due to inactivity
- Increased by an unhealthy diet
This declining potential comes up
against requirements of athletics
which are stronger and stronger.

13. Tailored Practice
From this diagnosis, the IAAF experts set to work
and developed a practice for children which is:
• Really tailored to their needs
• To their evolution
• To their motivations
14. Objectives of KA
Define objectives :
- Healthy
- P/M Development
- Socialisation
- Well being, lifestyle, Access to culture
For every children.
15. KIDS’ ATHLETICS
To come up to the children’s expectations and to
the IAAF objectives,
Kids’ Athletics
has been created
.
16. Suitable Competition
This is a competition tailored to children
Playful
Accessible
Practicable everywhere

17. Kids’ Athletics Events
• classified according to age categories
• following a progression in terms of
difficulty:
- 7/8 years
- 9/10 years
- 11/12 years
18. An Adapted Competition to Kids
• Team
• Time limit
• Continuous activity
• Very basic procedures
• Competition is conducted by an assistant
• « Educational » officiating of performances
• Continuous information (Scoreboard)
…Etc.
19. Where?
For Kids’ Athletics, any safe area which is
large enough (50mx30m) may be used for
competition and training.
Let us give some examples:
26. CD
To promote the IAAF Kids and Youth Programme, the IAAF
experts designed an educational CD-Rom which was given
to all MFs (in Osaka) and provided to all participants to an
IAAF course. The CD-Rom is currently available in 6
languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, English, Russian and
Spanish. The translation was done by the IAAF RDCs.
The CD contents more than 500 files (Books, Videos, PPT..etc
27. ‘IAAF
Kids & Youth
News’
has been issued and posted
on the IAAF website.
This publication will be an
additional tool for promoting
our programme and the IAAF
activities in the field of kids
and youth athletics
development.
43. All over the World
The Kids’ Athletics Programme is more and more
popular in the world. Demands come not only from
Member Federations, but also from other sports or
educational structures and institutions. Many MFs
were willing to adopt it as the official programme for
kids. The IAAF assistance and advice is more and
more requested to initiate this programme.
44. Means and Aids to MF
s Any development programme is dependent on the means.
s The IAAF should provide the needy MF with the KA Kits
sThe IAAF will Provide the MF which present a sustainable
development project with the following ‘package’:
" Kids’ Athletics Kit (1500 € /Kit + 500 € carriage)
" Ensure education and training courses
" Provide educational material (books and CD).
