TRACK & FIELD GROUPS

UK Athletics promotes the use of a Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model as the pathway for athletes to follow throughout their involvement in the sport. At our club this recommended programme is delivered by UKA Qualified Athletics Coaches and Coaching Assistants across a number of training groups based on age, development stage and event specialisation. For more information about each of our groups, please click on the photographs below.

FUNdamentals

Aimed at children aged 8-11 years, the name of this group says it all, focus is on the basics of athletic movement with the emphasis on fun!

Foundation

This group gives those who move on from the FUNdamentals the opportunity to have coaching in a variety of athletics events

Event Group

As athletes develop they move into more specialist coaching for the event groups that they are most interested in e.g. sprinting, endurance, jumps, throws.

Event Specialisation

Specialist coaching for specific disciplines focused on performance and preparing for competitions
