Disability Athletics

Overview

We are a club specifically set up to coach those youngsters with disabilities from the age of 9 years upwards. We meet at Northgate Sports Centre on Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm until 8.00pm in the summer and 6.30pm to 7.30pm in the winter. Please see the website for any changes to these times and whether we use indoors during the winter. We have very enthusiastic and qualified coaches to lead the sessions with young volunteers assisting on these evenings. All our leaders have been police checked, having followed a child protection course and become qualified first aiders. You are welcome to come and try on three evenings for the normal rate of £3.00 a session, then can apply to become a full member. Parents/carers are requested to stay and support the children in their efforts, and to provide the much needed encouragement and praise. We are a very friendly bunch of people, committed to improving the athletics ability of all youngsters combined with the need to have FUN! If you want to talk to some- one about coming please send a message via the website.
