We have got thrilling news from Legon Creative Athletics Club (LCAC)! As one of Ghana’s fastest-growing track & field development clubs, we are incredibly excited to announce the official introduction of jumps and throws to our comprehensive program. This addition creates an even more complete and inclusive system for our young athletes!
Our strategic aim is simple: to provide every child with the opportunity to explore the full spectrum of athletic disciplines. Instead of focusing too early on a single event, our athletes can now dive into running, jumping, and throwing, discovering what truly ignites their passion!
LCAC Technical Director, Neeyi Akesseh Arthur, highlighted this vision when speaking to the media, emphasising the crucial importance of exposing young athletes to a wide variety of events.
“It’s not ideal to specialise a child at a very young age,” he explained. “We can’t assume every child is a sprinter, so introducing throws and jumps helps complete our program. Our coaches will observe the athletes and guide them into areas where they show natural potential.”
Coach Emmanuel Bruce-Okine, LCAC’s Head of Field Events, shared his enthusiasm for the children’s fantastic response:
“Since we introduced the field events two months ago, the kids have enjoyed learning javelin and long jump. My hope is to see field events become as popular in Ghana as sprints. These events are technical, and starting young helps the athletes develop proper coordination and mechanics early on.”
At LCAC, we remain deeply committed to providing a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children can discover and truly flourish in the sport they love.
Join the Fun!
Ready to jump, throw, and run with us? Training sessions are held every Saturday from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM at the University of Ghana Stadium. Come and experience the excitement!
