Nuneaton Harriers Junior Athletic Program

Junior Athletics sessions cater for children from 7 years old to 14 years old

​

Training is at the Pingles Stadium on Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6:15 pm to 7:30 pm
 

The sessions for young athletes are split into small groups, split by age (7-10 year old and 11-14 year old) are led by experienced coaches who will work through the programme, progressively building skills and confidence. 
 

The sessions are suitable for children of all skill levels from beginners to those who have already taken part in introductory athletics programmes, holiday courses or school competitions. The programme covers running, jumping, throwing and fundamental movement skills; these are skills useful for all sports, not just athletics. Young athletes are encouraged to gain experience in competitions.
 

 

Ages 7 - 10

 

Children will have the opportunity to practice and become familiar with the basic techniques involved in running, jumping and throwing events. Enjoyment and having fun are the key factors in this age group. As the sessions progress, we introduce additional technical aspects to the athletics activities and continue to build on the foundations of good technique, enjoyment and a healthy lifestyle.

​

Ages 11-14

 

Children should begin to demonstrate their development and aptitude for various events with increased confidence, enjoyment and enthusiasm. There will be more focus in improving performance and an introduction to some of the competitive elements of athletics
