We are always on the look out for training up new coaches and run leaders (it won’t cost you a penny), and we rely on it to be able to provide good ratio running groups following England Athletics guidelines and club risk assessments. If you want to find out more, please contact Paula (e-mail below). It’s a great way to give back something to the local community, and support our amazing club juniors!

Training sessions
These are every Thursday evening from 17:30-18:30 during the school term times. See the Juniors Club Champs page for the diary and exact dates. Note that club and England Athletics insurance cover is only provided on these organised sessions, and that any extra training that any children do outside these advertised sessions, is outside the cover and remit of the club.
