Coach Chris' Athletics Academy
Back for Summer 2024: Coach Chris’ Athletics Academy
- Is your child a budding athlete or team sports player?
- Perhaps your child is struggling with sports at school because they’ve got some co-ordination issues that need a little more focused coaching.
- You’d like your child to do some out of season athletics training to give them the techniques, strength and conditioning exercises to help them get back to school or their favourite sport stronger, faster and more resilient.
If so, we’d love to welcome them into Coach Chris’ Athletics Academy.
Coach Chris’ athletics academy sessions at Mark Hall Athletics track in Harlow.
The sessions are open to ALL children aged 8-10* (starting school years 4-6 in September 2024).
The sessions will focus on:
- Increasing strength and power.
- Run, jump and throw technique.
- Improving co-ordination.
- Fitness and endurance.
The skills will be taught in a small group (maximum 20 with coach’s assistant) and will include games and challenges.
*If your child is younger/older please get in touch to see how we can help.
About Coach Chris
Chris, who’s a specialist running coach and England Athletics coach has 10 years experience in competitive racket and track sports.
Chris has been an elite personal trainer for 20 years, specialising in sports injury rehabilitation, endurance events programming, fat loss and behaviour change.
Clients include international sports players and managers and a certain Steps pop star DVD that he doesn't like to talk about.
Since 2019 Chris has volunteered his time at Harlow Athletics club coaching children 8-13. He works in primary schools and helps with local sports teams.
Coach Chris helped my son with discus technique. He’d previously thrown 20 metres. After one session working on technique he increased his distance to 24.9 metres and came 2nd by a narrow margin in his school sports event.
We'd definitely recommend these sessions to other families. My son really enjoyed meeting other children, working as a team and the best thing of all was learning how to throw the javelin.
Coach Chris taught me a lot and I appreciate it.
