Winter Training - Youth
Development Programme
A summary of arrangements for training during the Winter.
Training
From the first week in October training on Tuesdays and Thursdays moves indoors:
Tuesday from 7.00 - 8.00.
Thursday from 6.30 - 8.00.
However specific sessions may be scheduled outside these times:
either on training nights.
or weekends.
This will be done by
arrangement, but marks a movement to a more tailored programme.
There a couple of dates when the times are different because of school activities. Namely:
6th October 7.30-9.00.
12th January 7.30-9.00.
Training content
The content of training is based upon Athletics 365 challenges and curriculum. Our intention is to enable athletes to progress up to defined levels. We will do a lot of work to build a range of skills and strength. To reinforce this a number of activities will be more devoted to Sportshall.
For more details on Athletics 365 please read:
http://www.englandathletics.org/page.asp?section=1167§ionTitle=Athletics+365
We will also make arrangements for additional training in a range of events. Some of this will on training nights, but other opportunities will be scheduled at weekends.
If you attend regularly, and wish to progress, one of the Youth Coaches will act as regular Link to help track your progression. The Link Coach will have a key role in organising additional training, in many cases with other coaches who can help you progress areas of skill.
Competition
This year there will be Sportshall competitions between Buckinghamshire clubs. We will help prepare for this. I will confirm the competition dates shortly.
For those who like cross country the main competitions are published on the club website. In particular I would like to draw your attention to the Chiltern League. The first race is on the 8th of October.
If you any questions about training or competition, please speak to me or any one of the coaches.
