Nuneaton and Bedworth Leisure Trust Sport and Physical Activity Team are launching a new and inclusive Sports Hall Athletics Club at Alderman Smith Sports Centre between 4.30pm and 5.30pm for children and young people aged 8 – 15 starting on 7^th November 08.

 

Sports Hall Athletics is a great stepping stone into the sport of athletics. The club will offer children and young people the chance to have a go at developing their throwing style, jumping and running technique. The activities on offer include Javelin, Hammer, Shot Put, Long Jump and Sprint.

 

Becky Moss Sports Development Officer Comments “NB Leisure Trust recognised that training on dark winter nights is unappealing and Sports Hall athletics will be a great way to have a go at the sport in a warm, welcoming environment.”

 

There are Sports Hall UK Championships for under 11s, under 13s and under 15s that the club will link into and to help prepare the club will deliver club competitions on a regular basis.

 

Previous Sports Hall Athletic champions include Mark Lewis Francis (Olympic Gold Medalist Sprinter at Athens (4X100m relay) and Denise Lewis Olympic Gold Medal winner in 2000 (Heptathlon)

 

For a small fee of £3.00 or £2.50 with Passport to Leisure Pass, participants will receive coaching for an hour from a qualified level 2 athletics coach. It will be great fun and a great way to develop new skills and meet new people.

 

It is a club designed to cater for everyone’s individual needs including those that are beginners to those who love and excel in the sport.
