Little Athletics

Little athletics is for our youngest athletes. It is all about fun and learning the fundamentals of athletics. But the most important thing is to make things fun!

The Little Athletics programme introduces young children (7-10 years) to athletics in a fun, engaging and non-competitive environment. It focuses on the use of games to develop fitness whilst enhancing agility, co-ordination and balance – all fundamental to longer term physical athletic development.

Parents / Helpers and Coaches

At little athletics we will usually split the children into small groups (stations). This is so that we can work on the essential skills of agility, co-ordination and balance, and so that we can give the children time and encouragement.

We are always looking for parents to help at our sessions. If you can help, a coach from the club will be with you to guide you on how to help with the activity.

To make our session work best, we need about 8 coaches/helpers. We often need 4 stations with 2 coaches or helpers at each station.

If you would like to help at little athletics, please let us know at the next session.
