Tamworth
AC are committed to increasing the opportunities for younger
athletes, aged 8 to 13 years of age, to take part in specialised
training sessions at the club.
Due to the huge success of Tamworth AC’s
starter ‘Reception’ group in 2004 and 2005 the club is pleased
to announce that the squads will run again for the forseeable
future throughout
the year.
Tamworth Athletic Club’s new Academy squads,
sponsored by the club, will run every Tuesday and Thursday
at the Town Stadium, Marlborough Way, at
the early time of 6.00-7.15pm.
The athletic sessions are designed for boys
and girls who have been introduced to the basic athletic skills
of running, jumping and throwing. The sessions will provide
young athletes with a structured programme that will meet
their needs whatever their sporting ability in a FUN environment.
Events covered will include:
Sprints, Middle Distance, Endurance , Javelin,
Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Putt, Hurdles, Triple Jump, Starts/Relays,
Race Walking and more.
This is an ideal opportunity for boys and
girls to try out a range of disciplines under the guidance
of Tamworth’s own UKA Level 4 Midlands Multi-event coach and
a team of UKA Coaches and coaching assistants from Tamworth
AC.
All new athletes who join the Academy squads
will be entitled to two free sessions after which each session
will cost £3 for non-members and £1.50 for those who join
as a club member.
Induction sessions will continue to run as usual on Tuesdays
and Thursdays at 7pm in the clubhouse. For health and safety
reasons it is essential that all new athletes attend one of
these sessions with Mandy, the club’s Induction Officer. All
junior athletes must be accompanied by a parent or carer.
