The camp will be held from 8.30 am-1 pm from Monday to Friday.

The youngsters will learn various skills in athletics including how to start a race and running a relay.

Some of the coaches and athletes who will train the youngsters are coach Gunness Persad, TT Olympic athlete Machel Cedenio and coach Hydiane Harper Simmons.
