Rachel Yankey, top international footballer

0:00:440:00:47

and all-round sporting superstar.

0:00:470:00:50

But when Rachel's not scoring goals for her team,

0:00:500:00:54

she's playing with the Footy Pups.

0:00:540:00:56

CHEERING

0:00:580:01:01

Hi, everyone. We're all warmed up, so it's time to get moving.

0:01:020:01:06

Today on my team, we have...

0:01:100:01:12

Number one - Mackenzie.

0:01:120:01:15

Excellent, well done.

0:01:150:01:16

Number two - Ashvin.

0:01:180:01:20

That's brilliant.

0:01:200:01:21

Number three - Rachel.

0:01:230:01:25

Fantastic skills.

0:01:260:01:27

Number four - Manev.

0:01:290:01:31

Oh, look at that!

0:01:310:01:32

Number five - Claudia.

0:01:350:01:37

Amazing!

0:01:370:01:38

Number six - Isha.

0:01:400:01:42

Nice.

0:01:430:01:44

Also joining us

0:01:440:01:45

are Pickles and Geraldine.

0:01:450:01:47

So, that's today's team.

0:01:490:01:52

OK, guys, gather round. It's team talk time.

0:01:530:01:56

CHEERING

0:01:560:01:57

Today, we're going to be looking at athletics.

0:01:570:02:00

It's a term that covers lots of different sports.

0:02:000:02:03

The three main skills that are included in athletics

0:02:030:02:06

are running, jumping, and throwing.

0:02:060:02:10

And these are all skills that we also use in football.

0:02:100:02:13

So we need to practise our...

0:02:130:02:15

Running...

0:02:150:02:16

jumping...

0:02:160:02:18

and throwing! Well done.

0:02:180:02:21

So to help us learn more, I've invited along a friend.

0:02:210:02:24

Perri Shakes-Drayton -

0:02:260:02:27

international track and field athlete,

0:02:270:02:30

and multiple gold medallist.

0:02:300:02:32

When Perri's not training,

0:02:320:02:34

she's taking part in international competitions.

0:02:340:02:37

Woof! Woof!

0:02:380:02:39

Hi, thanks for joining us.

0:02:390:02:40

-No problem.

-Today we're looking at athletics.

0:02:400:02:43

What are some of the events involved?

0:02:430:02:46

Athletics covers a lot of events in track and field.

0:02:460:02:49

Long jump, high jump, discus, javelin, sprinting, hurdling,

0:02:490:02:53

-long-distance running, and that's just a few of them.

-Wow!

0:02:530:02:56

So there's loads that we can learn.

0:02:560:02:59

Some athletes even train for more than one event.

0:02:590:03:02

What event are we going to do first?

0:03:020:03:04

A really impressive event is the long jump -

0:03:040:03:06

a field event that combines speed, strength and agility.

0:03:060:03:10

You have to run as fast as you can

0:03:100:03:12

and jump as far as you can into a sandpit.

0:03:120:03:14

Fantastic! Right, guys.

0:03:140:03:16

So Perri's measured out the world record for the long jump,

0:03:160:03:20

which is an incredible 8.95 metres.

0:03:200:03:22

Which is nearly as long as a double-decker bus.

0:03:220:03:25

And you guys are standing where an athlete would jump from,

0:03:250:03:29

and that line down there is where the world-record holder

0:03:290:03:32

landed in one jump.

0:03:320:03:34

ALL: Wow!

0:03:340:03:35

What I want you to do

0:03:350:03:36

is see how many jumps it takes you to get from one end to the other.

0:03:360:03:40

-OK, guys, we'll start first.

-Let's get ready, and...go!

0:03:400:03:44

Cracking jumping from the team.

0:03:440:03:46

But they've still got a long way to go.

0:03:460:03:48

ALL: Six! Seven! Eight!

0:03:480:03:52

Wow! Well done, guys.

0:03:520:03:54

-One...

-Now it's Perri's team's turn.

0:03:540:03:57

I can't believe an athlete jumped this in one go.

0:03:570:04:00

Sensational!

0:04:000:04:02

Eight, nine, ten!

0:04:020:04:04

Well done, guys. That was a lot of hard work, right?

0:04:040:04:07

Another way to add to your jump is to add momentum.

0:04:070:04:10

And we can do this by running.

0:04:100:04:13

So you run, and then you jump.

0:04:130:04:15

So let's run and jump!

0:04:150:04:16

Whilst these guys keep practising, here's a reminder for you at home.

0:04:180:04:23

In athletics, you run,

0:04:230:04:25

jump,

0:04:250:04:26

and throw.

0:04:260:04:27

Woof, woof!

0:04:290:04:30

Now we're going to challenge you to some throwing.

0:04:300:04:33

In athletics, you might throw a javelin,

0:04:330:04:35

shot put,

0:04:350:04:37

hammer,

0:04:370:04:38

or a discus.

0:04:380:04:39

And in football you might take a throw-in, or if you're a goalie,

0:04:390:04:43

throw the ball to one of your team-mates.

0:04:430:04:45

For this game, we'll take it in turns to throw a foam javelin.

0:04:450:04:49

You need to throw in one straight line as far as you can in one hand,

0:04:490:04:53

swinging your arm back and launching it forward.

0:04:530:04:56

When you throw it, your partner will be watching to see where it lands.

0:04:560:05:00

When everyone's thrown your partner will run forward,

0:05:000:05:03

-put a marker where it landed and go themselves.

-Off you go!

0:05:030:05:07

And they're off to a flying start. Brilliant throw, Manev!

0:05:070:05:11

They've all thrown so go and put the marker down.

0:05:110:05:14

OK, we want our javelins pointed forward.

0:05:140:05:16

-Step back.

-Keep this arm nice and straight.

0:05:160:05:19

Use it as a guide, as you're going to throw it to this direction.

0:05:190:05:23

Great throw, Rachel. It's gone further than Manev's!

0:05:230:05:27

Swing your arm back and throw it forward. Go! Nice one!

0:05:270:05:31

Wow, look at those javelins fly!

0:05:310:05:34

Keep your arm up. Launch it, OK?

0:05:340:05:36

Go, throw it far!

0:05:360:05:38

Oh, well done!

0:05:380:05:39

That's our target, are we ready?

0:05:390:05:41

And...throw. Good shot!

0:05:410:05:44

You're brilliant at athletics, Pickles.

0:05:440:05:47

Thanks, Geraldine.

0:05:470:05:49

But I didn't think I was until Freddie sent us

0:05:490:05:52

those athletics games to play.

0:05:520:05:54

Woof, woof!

0:05:550:05:56

Welcome to Pupton Park,

0:05:560:05:58

where the pitch is looking very different today.

0:05:580:06:01

And it looks like Pickles has lost something!

0:06:010:06:04

Oh, what a howler.

0:06:040:06:06

Where are they?

0:06:060:06:07

I hope it isn't anything important.

0:06:070:06:10

Huddle up, Pups.

0:06:100:06:11

Something mysterious has happened.

0:06:110:06:15

Mysterious? Ha-ha...

0:06:150:06:17

All of our footballs have disappeared.

0:06:170:06:21

THEY GASP

0:06:210:06:22

Uh...Freddie?

0:06:220:06:24

I...had all the footballs yesterday.

0:06:240:06:27

I was playing a burying game...

0:06:270:06:30

ALL: Yay! Pickles saves the day!

0:06:300:06:33

But...I can't remember where I buried them.

0:06:330:06:37

ALL: Oh, Pickles.

0:06:370:06:39

-Sorry.

-Never fear!

0:06:390:06:40

Inspector Pete is here.

0:06:400:06:43

I'll find those footballs in no time.

0:06:430:06:46

-I hope you can, groundskeeper...

-A-hem!

0:06:460:06:49

..sorry, Inspector Pete.

0:06:490:06:51

But if we've got no footballs, we can't play football!

0:06:510:06:56

Don't worry, Benny. I thought we could try a new sport instead!

0:06:560:07:00

Follow me.

0:07:000:07:01

THEY BARK AND LAUGH

0:07:010:07:04

But I was looking forward to playing football.

0:07:040:07:07

Woof, woof!

0:07:070:07:08

Today, Pups, we are going to try athletics!

0:07:080:07:14

ALL: Ooh!

0:07:140:07:16

Athletics is a group of different sports that involve

0:07:160:07:20

running, jumping, and throwing!

0:07:200:07:23

Players compete individually as well as in a team.

0:07:230:07:26

-They're called athletes.

-PUPS: Bow wow!

0:07:260:07:29

Woof, woof!

0:07:290:07:31

For our first event,

0:07:310:07:32

you're each going to try throwing a special stick called a javelin.

0:07:320:07:37

This one's made of foam, so it's safe to practise with.

0:07:370:07:40

And very light! Whoever throws it the furthest is the winner.

0:07:400:07:45

Remember, you mustn't cross this line.

0:07:450:07:48

And it's very important that everyone else

0:07:480:07:50

stays safely behind the thrower.

0:07:500:07:53

PUPS: Woohoo! Woof, woof!

0:07:540:07:56

Your turn, Pups.

0:07:560:07:58

I've got to find those footballs.

0:07:590:08:02

Here goes! Ruff!

0:08:020:08:05

PUPS: Bow wow! Great throw, Rozzie.

0:08:070:08:09

Maybe I left the footballs around here.

0:08:100:08:13

Ah!

0:08:130:08:14

-Inspector Pete's already looked here.

-Oh.

0:08:140:08:18

Don't worry, Pickles!

0:08:180:08:20

I've switched my leaf blower to suction mode.

0:08:200:08:23

It's now a state-of-the-art football finder.

0:08:230:08:27

Oh!

0:08:270:08:28

Ah! Make it stop! Oh!

0:08:280:08:31

Oh, great throw, Geraldine.

0:08:310:08:34

-Where has Pickles gone?

-Sorry.

0:08:340:08:37

I was trying to find the footballs.

0:08:370:08:40

Never mind that, laddie.

0:08:400:08:42

-It's your turn to throw the javelin.

-If I must.

0:08:420:08:45

Ah.

0:08:480:08:50

PUPS: Bow wow!

0:08:500:08:51

Oh, don't say I've lost that as well.

0:08:510:08:55

Woof, woof!

0:08:560:08:57

Our next athletic event is the hundred metre sprint!

0:08:570:09:02

So we've got to run as fast as we can?

0:09:020:09:05

That's right, Rozzie.

0:09:050:09:06

But stay behind the line until the starter pistol fires.

0:09:060:09:10

And the first one to the finish line wins!

0:09:100:09:13

Aye, laddie. But remember to stay in your own lane.

0:09:130:09:16

PUPS: Ruff!

0:09:160:09:17

Oh, where's Pickles got to now?

0:09:170:09:20

Sorry! Just looking for our footballs.

0:09:210:09:24

Pickles! Get back here before the race.

0:09:240:09:27

BANG

0:09:270:09:28

Start.

0:09:280:09:30

The sooner I finish this race, the sooner I can find those footballs.

0:09:310:09:35

Ah! Whoa!

0:09:350:09:37

Pickles! What have you done to my running track?

0:09:370:09:40

I thought I might have buried the footballs here,

0:09:400:09:43

so I did a bit of digging.

0:09:430:09:45

Mind that mound, Geraldine! And that one!

0:09:450:09:48

Oh, and that one too.

0:09:480:09:50

-Thanks, Pickles!

-Sorry, everyone!

0:09:500:09:53

Ha-ha, well done, Pickles. You won the race!

0:09:550:09:59

But I still didn't find any of our footballs.

0:09:590:10:03

Woof, woof!

0:10:040:10:05

Right, team. Time for our final athletics event.

0:10:050:10:08

The long jump!

0:10:080:10:10

Cheer up, Pickles.

0:10:100:10:12

And don't worry about those missing footballs.

0:10:120:10:15

Groundskeeper...oh, I mean Inspector Pete

0:10:150:10:18

is bound to find them.

0:10:180:10:20

No, it's no good. I can't find them.

0:10:200:10:23

They are lost forever.

0:10:230:10:24

This is all my fault.

0:10:240:10:26

We can't get better at football

0:10:260:10:28

if we haven't got any footballs to play with.

0:10:280:10:32

Actually, you've been improving your football skills all day,

0:10:320:10:35

by doing athletics. Javelin is just like a throw-in,

0:10:350:10:39

helping you throw the ball further.

0:10:390:10:42

Oh. So sprinting is like an explosive start,

0:10:420:10:45

helping us to chase the ball faster!

0:10:450:10:49

So, then, long jump can help me become a super springy goalie,

0:10:490:10:52

leaping for balls and diving for saves.

0:10:520:10:56

That's right, laddie.

0:10:560:10:58

So you see, a good athlete makes a good footballer.

0:10:580:11:02

And with all your rushing around, Pickles,

0:11:020:11:05

-you're the most athletic Pup we've ever seen.

-Really?

0:11:050:11:09

Yes. You've won both events so far. But can you win the long jump?

0:11:090:11:13

-Just run to the line and jump as far as you can.

-OK!

0:11:130:11:18

Whee!

0:11:200:11:21

BOING

0:11:210:11:23

Whoa!

0:11:230:11:24

PUPS: Bow wow!

0:11:240:11:26

That's strange.

0:11:260:11:27

I've never seen anyone bounce doing the long jump before.

0:11:270:11:31

Quick everyone! I've remembered where the footballs are!

0:11:310:11:35

Long jump as far as you can!

0:11:350:11:37

PUPS: Ruff! Ha-ha! Woof!

0:11:370:11:40

Whoa! Whee!

0:11:420:11:44

I must have buried our balls in the sand to keep them safe.

0:11:440:11:48

PUPS: Oh, Pickles!

0:11:480:11:49

THEY LAUGH

0:11:490:11:51

Try athletics, it's lots of fun.

0:11:510:11:53

You can learn to throw and jump and run.

0:11:530:11:55

# Go, go, go... #

0:11:550:11:58

Pickles! Whee!

0:11:580:12:00

Well done, laddie.

0:12:000:12:01

Let's celebrate with some nice juicy bones.

0:12:010:12:05

I think I buried them, too. Somewhere...

0:12:050:12:09

THEY LAUGH

0:12:090:12:12

Woof, woof!

0:12:120:12:13

Well done for finding the footballs, Pickles.

0:12:130:12:16

Thanks, Geraldine.

0:12:160:12:17

It was great to practise some athletics with Freddie, wasn't it?

0:12:170:12:21

It sure was.

0:12:210:12:22

-Hi, guys.

-BOTH: Hi, Rachel.

0:12:220:12:24

You guys were brilliant at practising athletics.

0:12:240:12:27

Thanks. You know, athletics is all about

0:12:270:12:30

running, jumping, and throwing.

0:12:300:12:32

Rachel, you're good at running. Geraldine's good at jumping.

0:12:320:12:36

And I'm good at throwing.

0:12:360:12:38

Yeah, and I'm good at all three!

0:12:380:12:41

Ah! Ah! Wah, whoa!

0:12:410:12:43

Ha-ha! Oh, Rex. You don't have to do them all at once.

0:12:430:12:47

Do you guys remember what athletics is?

0:12:470:12:50

In athletics, you run, jump, and throw.

0:12:500:12:55

Woof, woof!

0:12:560:12:57

OK, guys, who fancies a game?

0:12:570:12:59

ALL: Yeah!

0:12:590:13:01

So, I've split you up into two teams.

0:13:010:13:03

-We've got the Yellows. Yellows, can you give me a cheer?

-Yeah!

0:13:030:13:07

-And we've got the Reds. Reds, give me a cheer?

-Yeah!

0:13:070:13:10

Fantastic. Let's take a look with the Footy Pups

0:13:100:13:13

to find out how to play.

0:13:130:13:14

Come and have a look.

0:13:140:13:15

To play this game, you need to be ready to run a relay race.

0:13:150:13:19

The first two team-mates stand in the ready position,

0:13:190:13:22

holding a baton.

0:13:220:13:23

The team in the shorter inside lane start slightly behind.

0:13:230:13:27

When the whistle blows, they run as fast as they can

0:13:270:13:30

making sure they stay in their lane.

0:13:300:13:32

They run all the way round the track until they get

0:13:320:13:35

back to the start where the next team-mates wait for them.

0:13:350:13:39

Then they pass the baton to the next team-mate without dropping it.

0:13:390:13:43

The winners of this game will be the team who

0:13:430:13:46

-cross the finish line first.

Nicely recovered by the Reds.
