Our Junior Academy is a great place to start athletics!
Aimed at athletes in school Year 3 and above, Junior Academy sessions take place on:
• Tuesdays 6-7pm
• Wednesdays 6-7pm and 7-8pm
• Thursdays 6-7pm
• Saturdays 10-11am and 11am-12pm
All sessions take place at Yate Outdoor Sports Complex.
Under the supervision of our qualified coaching team, young athletes can experience a broad range of events, from sprinting and long jump to high jump and javelin, all at our fantastic athletics track. Athletes are split into smaller groups (by age) and the athletics activity will vary each week so that we can cover a broad range of athletic skills, ensuring that young athletes can experience all the run, jump and throw events. For those who just want to run, we have a run only session open to Y6+ aimed at improving speed and technique, before moving on to our sprints or middle distance groups as appropriate
Once you’ve got the hang of it you may want to focus on one or more specific disciplines, and we’ll introduce you to one of our Club Nights (Tuesdays & Thursdays) for specialist coaching.
