Happy Summer Olympics!

The 2012 Summer Olympics are here! What a great way to introduce kids to new and exciting sports. It's nice to see that there is more to the world of sports besides football, basketball, and baseball. The Olympic games show amazing athletes celebrating sport for the sake of simply playing the game. The million dollar contracts are no longer in the spotlight, the athletes are.

In honor of the Olympics, get out and get active! Here's a quick idea that will introduce your kids to track and field. 

Javelin Throw-  Line up your friends each equipped with a pool "noodle" and see who can throw their javelin the furthest. Watch the track and field events on tv and check out this video on how to throw correctly:
