The Academy

Our Athletics Academy develops aspiring athletes in all aspects of field and track in a fun and inspiring environment. Sessions with our inspiring coaches and sessions with Dean Macey give children the opportunity to make improvements in disciplines they already have skills within as well as develop skills in those they don’t. The programme breaks field and track down so Athletes understand the mechanics behind their actions plus an understanding of how to maximise their potential, producing a rounded, adaptable Athlete. Dean will be with us for half of the Academy (1 day of a 2 day Academy, 2 days of a 4 day Academy) so there is lots of opportunity for young Athletes to meet him, benefit from his experience and understand what it is like to compete at the highest level. 

    Our Academy will cover the full range of track and field disciplines including:

    • how to warm up, ready to perform
    • improving running style and speed
    • using blocks for effective sprint starts
    • sprint relays and baton changes
    • developing hurdling technique
    • throwing technique in shot, discus and javelin
    • developing high jump, long jump and triple jump technique
    • improving race, competition and multi-disciplinary tactics

    Our coaching team are happy to help athletes who have a specific area or skill that they would like to develop. Please speak to the Lead Coach when signing in on the first day of the Academy.
