The National T.R.A.I.L. training took place in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 7 – 10, 2006. Representatives from Indian Health Service and Nike, Inc. were in attendance.
The training began with an overview of the program and the history and evolution of the T.R.A.I.L. program. Robin Shuey (Nike) provided a brief overview of the NikeGO on Native Lands product grant. Rachelle Holman, MS, RD/LD-CDE (BGC of Sequoyah County) presented a session on Diabetes and Nutrition 101. In the afternoon, Clubs shared success stories of collaboration with local health partners and Head Start programs. The day ended with returning Club professionals introducing the T.R.A.I.L. curriculum and sharing their knowledge and experience with new sites.
The next two days of the training were spent peer teaching the curriculum and participating in the NikeGO/SPARK physical activity curriculum training. At the end of each day, T.R.A.I.L. Coordinators led brainstorming sessions and shared ideas for improving family involvement, recruiting volunteers and peer leaders, adapting activities for children with different reading levels and attention spans, and integrating T.R.A.I.L. values (daily physical activity, healthy food choices, and reduced screen-time) throughout the Club. The training adjourned on Friday November 10, 2006 following presentations on data collection and evaluation requirements and the financial reimbursement process.
