Sessions Structure

Each session is based on England Athletics’ “Athletics 365 Challenge and Curriculum” and comprises:

• RAMP warm-up, to ensure reduce risk of injury or muscle soreness

• Physical Conditioning (Agility, Balance and Coordination)

• Technical skills and strength development, e.g. sprint starts and drive, long jump

• Energy Systems development (Fitness), through different running distances, speeds and recoveries – during first period preparing for participation in the Junior Sizzler

• Cool down and stretches to aid muscle recovery and prevention of stiffness.

Junior group sessions are from 6:00 to 6:45pm; Teen group sessions are from 6:30 to 7:30pm. Both sessions are at Kingshill School playing fields.
