Sessions

In our sessions we aim, over the term, to ensure the children have had the opportunity to try a range of athletics disciplines focussing on agility, balance & co-ordination in a fun and supportive environment. In addition if the local schools are attending activities such as cross country, sportshall, quad kids and district athletics we help prepare them for these in our sessions too.

A session always starts with a game, a lap around the 400m track and athletic warm up drills. The session will then either focus on sprinting, endurance, jumping or throwing. We also try to incorporate agility and strength exercises into the sessions. Our sessions finish either with a lap around the track or a team relay followed by some stretching.

Pathway to competitive athletics

We have strong links with Sutton & District AC and coaches will support with introductions to the club for those in year 5 up who are keen and ready to move onto competitive athletics. Some of our older athletes, those in Year 5 up who are on a waiting list or can’t commit to training at Sutton & District train with us at ATG but also can be linked members of the club and have the opportunity to compete in club competitions.
