Young athletes training
MONDAY EVENINGS – YOUNG ATHLETES TRAINING
6.00-7.00 Under 13 athletes (years 6 and 7)
7.00-8.00 Under 15 athletes (years 8 and 9)
Please wear clean trainers in the sports hall.
There is an endurance group for athletes in years 7, 8 and 9. It runs from the Sports Centre from 6.30-7.45. The group is aimed at athletes who wish to run cross-country events. Hi-viz tops are mandatory.
It is not possible to take a car to the Sports Centre itself except for disabled badge holders. Cars should be parked in the car park on Charles Babbage Road, at the top of the access road to the Sports Centre, which is the car park for the Institute for Manufacturing. It is on the western side of the Institute for Manufacturing building and the eastern side of the access road to the Sports Centre. This is the only car park available to us. It's about 100m from the Sports Centre.
• Under 13 athletes train from 6.30 to 7.30 in one of three groups. The sessions are organised in a rota, Run, Jump, Throw, Choice. The endurance running session is also available for athletes in year 7.
• Under 15 athletes train from 7.30 to 8.30 either following a rota or as specialists. The rota is organised as three groups following a pattern of Run, Jump, Throw. There is no choice week. In order to specialise you need to ask the coach's agreement and that agreement is based on the coach's assessment of your needs and ability. In order for the coach to make an effective assessment it is essential that you have competed in the relevant event and have proper times and distances recorded. Specialist athletes are expected to make a commitment to train regularly. The endurance running session is also available .
• Under 17 athletes should normally train on Tuesdays or Thursdays as part of a coach's group. Please speak to the coaches whose groups you would like to join if you have not already done so. Under 17 athletes are expected to train regularly and to be serious about their events. If you are keen to carry on with athletics but to focus less on competition, you should consider joining the club's Leaders' Academy. This will enable you to learn about officiating, coaching and other skills related to athletics and sport more generally.
