What is Performance Training?

Specialist Coaching for athletes in U12, U14, U16 and U18
Monday and Friday 6pm to 7pm

How is this different to normal 5pm Junior sessions?

Performance is different to our Junior sessions as follows:

  • It is for older athletes in year 6 upwards
  • Athletes choose their event(s) 
  • Athletes CAN change their group and try sprints one week and jumps the next for example
  • Athletes will be expected to know which event they wish to train for, how to warm up, how to do basic athletics training. We will help them with the rest!

The aim of Performance Training is to provide more focussed training to prepare athletes to compete as seniors in their chosen event.
