Hi everybody,
A reminder of an opportunity for all juniors, followed by details of next week’s training further down this message. This coming Wednesday is the last training session before the Easter holidays.
Attending training: Parents and guardians are asked not send juniors to the club if they are injured or unwell. They must be fit to run on the night. Not only is this for their own safety and wellbeing, running when injured or unwell impacts on the group they are with.
Athletics opportunity for all juniors aged 11-18: Chris Warnock, the North East’s Regional Club Coaching Lead for English Athletics is running two sessions at Gateshead Academy for Sport on Mondays and Thursdays. These are:
- technical skills across a variety of athletic disciplines (5-6pm),
- building athletic strength and condition (6-7pm).
The sessions are open to all levels of athlete(including beginners)from ages 11-18. Cost: £4 for the skills session only, and £6 if your young athlete wants to attend both the skills and the strength and conditioning session.
These are a great chance for your young athlete to get a taste and explore their potential in multiple different athletics disciplines beyond running in the best facility that we have in our region. If your young athlete is keen and interested, please see this link for more info and how to register: https://forms.gle/p4yHD7fJeCKxcvUe8
