From first steps to full speed. Helping every age and ability discover what they're capable of.
WHY ATHLETIC
DEVELOPMENT MATTERS
Children today are moving less, joining sport later, and losing confidence earlier. We believe every child deserves to build confidence and a lifelong love of being active — and it starts with strong athletic foundations: running, jumping, throwing, balance and coordination.
What we do
Working with parents, schools, councils and leisure partners to empower children and young people through athletics.
As an England Athletics affiliated club, our coaches — many of whom have competed for their country — build a real pathway from a child’s first session on the track to their local club. Athletics is the foundation of every sport, so whatever your child grows to love, they’ll have a head start. From our youngest athletes to teenagers and adults, there’s something for everyone.

My daughter attended this camp at Excel this summer and loved it. She was slightly bruised from a previous roller blading fall and was a little nervous on day 1, but Kate scooped her up and looked after her and by the end of the day she was buzzing, eager to get back the next day for more. Guy was also fantastic on comms and booking was super efficient. Thank you we’ll be back!
My children loved the Walton summer athletics camp! They could not wait to come each day to have fun, make friends and keep fit. The coaches created an inclusive environment for everyone to perform at their best. Looking forward to more Walton classes so my children can take part in more classes. Thank you coaches!
A brilliant way to get kids running, jumping, throwing and having fun, expending energy and picking up genuine athletic tips from great coaches. I’ve witnessed the fun they have, the brilliant way the Academies are run and I recommend them to any parents, head teachers and PE staff.
Since joining Aspire to Greatness Athletics Academy, my son has developed significantly as both an athlete and a young person. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping every child succeed. His confidence, fitness, and determination have all improved, and he now approaches challenges with a much more positive mindset.
My daughter absolutely loves attending Aspire to Greatness. The sessions are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to help athletes of all abilities progress. We’ve noticed a huge improvement in her speed, technique, and self-confidence. The supportive atmosphere makes it a fantastic place for young athletes to learn and grow.
The coaching team at Aspire to Greatness Athletics Academy goes above and beyond to bring out the best in every athlete. They create an environment that balances hard work, discipline, and enjoyment. My child has become more focused, resilient, and motivated both on and off the track. We couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Joining Aspire to Greatness has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our child. The academy provides expert coaching while also teaching important life skills such as commitment, teamwork, and perseverance. The progress we’ve seen over the past year has been remarkable, and our child genuinely looks forward to every training session.
Aspire to Greatness is more than just an athletics academy—it’s a community that inspires young people to believe in themselves and aim higher. The coaches are passionate, approachable, and dedicated to helping every athlete reach their full potential. The positive impact on our child’s confidence and performance has been incredible.
