Children’s Athletic Camps

A half day, half term holiday club for children in school years 3-6 to learn how to improve basic run, jump and throw skills in a fun, play focused environment at Ivy Chimneys Primary School.

• Your child loves sports but struggles with some bits like co-ordination, speed or throwing.
• Your child has lost fitness and confidence during the pandemic and could do with a little encouragement.
• Your child thinks they’re ‘not sporty’ or doesn’t pick things up quickly during school sports PE sessions and needs a little more time to pick up the basics.
• You’ve got a budding heptathlete with bags of energy who needs an athletics coach.

If this sounds familiar we’re running out first holiday clubs so your child can to learn to run, jump and throw all under the watchful eye of an England Athletics Coach, in a small group whilst having lots of fun?

Here's what they’ll do:

• We’ll look at preferred running distances and events and cover sprinting technique as well as endurance, focusing on some of the disciplines they’ll skim over at school.
• Learn to throw. We'll use various objects from bean bags to balls and then turbo javelins. I aim to have every child learn a basic overarm throw by the end of the session.
• Learn to jump and understand how to coordinate their body to perform a jump. We’ll learn the basics of the long jump.
• For older children, we’ll separate out those who need challenging in different ways. Some may even be ready for event specifics such as 60m and 100m sprints.
