For younger athletes, the emphasis is on fun and taking part. We do not focus solely on a single discipline with our young athletes, instead using Athletics 365 we encourage them to try a wide variety of events and work to develop all round athletic skills.

JUNIOR
DISCIPLINES
We take part in Track and Field events/ League meetings, Club Competitions, Sports Hall and Cross Country. As the athletes develop, we will continue to encourage multi-event training; however we will also help to develop specific disciplines and encourage each athlete to achieve their personal goals.
Although England Athletics operate and age banding system, we help athletes to develop their own physical abilities. As a club, our focus with youngsters is on participation and enjoyment, while respect and tolerance are placed high on our agenda.
